Ahmedabad: A 30-year-old ready-made garment trader has approached Karanj police alleging that three mobile phone shop operators, whom he knew for around a year, misused his family members’ credit cards after promising to help him clear outstanding dues and protect his credit score. Police were told that the accused subsequently carried out multiple transactions between Dec 2025 and May 2026. The complainant’s allegations involve transactions totalling around Rs 10.52 lakh. However, he came to know of the alleged fraud after Andhra Pradesh Police visited his house on July 10. The police allegedly informed him that Rs 2.40 lakh credited to his father’s card and Rs 1.96 lakh credited to another card were linked to fraud cases. The Andhra Pradesh Police subsequently recovered Rs 4.37 lakh from him under a panchnama.
The complainant told police that he, his father and mother had several credit cards and had used them for purchases and other expenses. The three allegedly offered to deposit the outstanding amounts into the cards for a three per cent commission. Trusting them, the complainant handed over the cards. The complainant alleged that the three men had used his cards to route fraud proceeds and withdrew the money themselves, leaving him to face the consequences. He submitted bank statements and documents provided by the Andhra Pradesh Police to Karanj police. Police have registered the complaint and are investigating the alleged misuse of the cards and the transactions.
