New Delhi: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police has arrested the prime accused, Dinesh Bansal, in a ₹30 crore insurance fraud involving fake car accident claims against Tata AIG General Insurance Company.
According to police, Bansal orchestrated the scam by submitting fraudulent repair bills through six garages across Delhi-NCR. The operation involved four former Tata AIG employees, three licensed surveyors, and several policyholders. The accused submitted multiple high-value claims for the same vehicle under different policyholders and used identical images for different accident claims.
Bansal operated four workshops—three under his wife’s name and one under an associate’s—and submitted hundreds of fake insurance claims. Each claim ranged from ₹2 lakh to ₹4.5 lakh, with over 500 such claims processed between February 2019 and August 2021.
Two former Tata AIG officials, Pradeep Rana and Deepak Sharma, have already been arrested for their involvement. Police stated that Bansal offered insiders approximately 15% commission per claim and laundered the illicit proceeds through eight shell companies.
The case is being investigated under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.
