‘Don’t fall prey to bank account rental fraud’: Kolkata Police warns citizens

September 04, 2025

Kolkata, Sep 4

Kolkata Police have started alerting people about a new kind of fraud where individuals are getting linked to fraud cases by sharing their bank account details with fraudsters.

Meanwhile, a young man from the Banshdroni area in south Kolkata also became a victim of this crime, namely Imran Ansari. Similarly, fraudsters took a huge loan by using his bank account details, and the complaint was filed in Chandigarh.

Based on that complaint, Chandigarh Police, along with Kolkata Police, raided Imran's house and arrested him.

Although Imran, who was caught, apparently knows nothing about this. In both incidents, the police could not catch the main culprit.

Following such developments, officers of the Detective Branch of Kolkata have advised people to be careful. The police officers have also warned people not to share their bank account details with anyone.
