A Dehradun woman’s new Volkswagen Virtus, entrusted to a transport company for delivery to Kerala, did not reach its destination, prompting a fraud case by Nehru Colony police. Fastag records later indicated that the vehicle was travelling through Uttar Pradesh instead.

Police registered a case against 4 people linked to Agrawal Road Assistance Limited for alleged fraud and breach of trust. The accused named in the complaint are Surendra Gaud, Ajit, Parth and one unidentified person.

Car handed over for Kerala delivery

According to Nehru Colony Inspector Devendra Chauhan, Namita Sharma bought a new Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus for ₹19.90 lakh from a showroom at DDPm Tower on Bypass Road on 8 August. She wanted the vehicle transported safely to her home in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.

She contacted Agrawal Road Assistance for the service. The company representatives reportedly promised to deliver the car within 12 days and collected ₹28,000 as the transport fee.

The accused then took the vehicle from the showroom. However, the car had still not reached Kerala after a month, while the people involved allegedly stopped answering Sharma’s calls.

Fastag trail pointed to Uttar Pradesh

Sharma received a Fastag statement by email on 15 September. The statement indicated that the car was being driven in Uttar Pradesh, including through Rehankalan and Bilakbarpur, rather than towards Kerala.

When she contacted the people involved, she received conflicting information. one person allegedly said the vehicle was in Kochi, while another said it was in Agra. The conflicting replies increased her suspicion that she had been cheated.

Sharma initially approached Thumba police station in Kerala, where a 0 FIR was registered. The case has since been forwarded to Nehru Colony police in Dehradun for investigation.

The FIR records the complaint and begins the investigation; it does not establish guilt. Police have named 4 people in the case, including one person whose identity was not specified in the complaint.
