A fresh cheating case has been registered against Mangaluru resident Roshan Saldanha, who was arrested recently on the charges of cheating businessmen of easy loan.
In the complaint registered at the Mangaluru Cyber Economic and Narcotic Crime (CEN) police, a Bihar-based businessman accused Saldanha of cheating him of over ₹10 crore. As the amount involved in the cheating was more than ₹10 crore, Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy said the case was transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for further investigation.
Mr. Reddy said the CEN police have traced more accounts of persons who have been cheated by Saldanha. Further action will be taken after checking the related bank transactions, he said.
Saldanha, a resident of Bollagudda in Bajal, was arrested by police on July 17 for cheating entrepreneurs and others of over ₹32 crore. Promising easy loans, Saldanha collected ‘stamp duty charges’ from entrepreneurs and did not pay the loan amount to them, the police said.
