₹350 Crore Transactions in the Name of a Car Showroom Employee

A major financial fraud has come to light in Ballari, Karnataka, where transactions worth an alleged ₹350 crore were reportedly carried out using the identity of an ordinary employee. The fraudsters are suspected of creating forged documents and misusing his personal details to open a bank account and conduct high-value transactions. The victim, Roshan Jameel, works at a car showroom in Ballari and earns a monthly salary of just ₹15,000. His father works as a daily-wage labourer in a warehouse. According to the complaint, the accused allegedly misused Roshan’s Aadhaar, PAN, bank account details and electricity bill to establish a plastic trading firm under the name ‘Roshan Enterprises’. Transactions amounting to approximately ₹350 crore are said to have taken place between May and October last year.

The fraud reportedly came to light after the bank account was closed, prompting GST officials to visit Roshan’s residence to serve a notice and make enquiries. Shocked by the allegations, Roshan approached the GST authorities seeking details but claimed he did not receive a proper response. He subsequently lodged a complaint with the cybercrime police along with his parents. Roshan maintained that he had no knowledge of the business transactions and said the mobile number and email address linked to the firm did not belong to him. He alleged that his identity documents had been misused to carry out the transactions and urged the authorities to take action against those responsible. Ballari police have reportedly begun an investigation and are collecting evidence.
