Authorities claim Singh’s modus operandi involved surreptitiously activating dormant accounts and unlawfully siphoning off deposited funds. The fraudulent activity came to light when Singh allegedly withdrew funds from an already active account, prompting the account holder to file a complaint.

Following a month-long evasion, a police team led by Dy. SP Headquarters Reasi, Neeraj Padyar (JKPS), conducted raids across various locations in Jammu, ultimately leading to Singh’s arrest. Mohita Sharma, SSP Reasi, confirmed the arrest, highlighting Singh’s alleged wrongful gain at the expense of public funds.
