The detective department has nabbed an insurance company executive who allegedly changed registered phone numbers of several policy holders of the firm — one of the biggest in India — and reportedly siphoned Rs 21.5 lakh, in three tranches, by premature closure of policies.
According to DC (cyber) Atul Vishwanathan, accused Dinesh Prasad (37) of Nilachal Abasan at Hatiara Bypass under Eco Park PS used his technical expertise to change phone numbers of policyholders and closed policies before their terms were to end using his online access.
He also transferred a part of the money to his account, said Atul. The cops have registered a case under several sections of cheating,fraud and criminal conspiracy.
