Fraud Accused Faces Intense Police Interrogation

Mahidpur (Madhya Pradesh): The police have initiated an intensive interrogation of fraudster Balu Singh Vaniya after a court granted him police remand. Notably, he was arrested by police for cheating several people of Rs 25 lakh by falsely promising jobs in the police department while claiming to be a relative of the DGP on May 3. The amount rose to Rs 38 lakh after new fraud cases emerged.

A police team on Friday escorted Vaniya to his residence and office to scrutinise related case documents and gather critical evidence.

According to law enforcement official records, Vaniya carries a prior criminal history, with seven cases involving fraud already registered against him with Mahidpur police station.

Investigative scrutiny is tightening as authorities recently received two additional complaints against him.

Officials said that these new allegations are under investigation, which may increase the total charges. Further significant revelations are anticipated during the remaining custody period.
