Army sepoy accused of cheating soldier in Mohali

Mohali police have charged a 30-year-old Army sepoy, Rohit Saini, with cheating a fellow soldier, Naik Gursewak Singh, out of ₹19 lakh. Singh reported that Saini convinced him to share his online banking passwords for supposed investments. Saini allegedly took out loans from two banks using Singh's accounts in May 2023. He transferred the funds to his own account and made monthly payments for seven months before disappearing in April 2024. Singh's complaint led to an investigation by a deputy superintendent of police. Saini is now wanted for cheating and criminal conspiracy, with reports indicating he may have defrauded 15 other soldiers as well.
