Man nabbed for selling fake vehicle insurance

A 30-year-old man was arrested on Thursday from Vasant Vihar for allegedly selling fake insurance policies to a car owner.

Interrogation revealed his alleged involvement in at least nine cases in the past, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (south) Ishwar Singh.

The officer said a complaint was filed at Vasant Vihar police station by Ram Mohan Rai, who alleged that the accused had supplied fake insurance policies for his two high-end cars.

A police team intercepted a hatchback near a school in Vasant Vihar around 4 p.m. on Thursday following a tip-off and arrested the accused, he said.

“Fake insurance cover notes were recovered from his possession,” he added.

During interrogation, the accused revealed he was a field agent with an insurance company in Hauz Khas in 2007 but left after dispute with the office in-charge, the police said.
