Police is looking for an Indian expat who is alleged to have fled the sultanate after a RO200,000 fraud.
Identified as R V, he has been accused of cheating several traders of building materials in Saham by giving them cheques that later bounced. He is also said to have forged the signature of his firm’s owner for financial gains. He has been missing since May 26.
R V, who ran a building materials store in Saham with a partner, began buying materials
at wholesale prices against cheques and forged the firm owner’s signature on agreements. He then sold these at cheap rates, keeping the money for himself.
According to his partner S K, R V’s fraud came to light when the cheques were dishonoured. The affected firms filed a joint complaint with Saham police.
A J, the owner of the firm told that he planned to approach the Indian Embassy.
On May 26, R V went to the airport on the pretext of seeing off his brother-in-law, who also worked with him. He has been missing since then.
“We are trying to know where he went,” S K said.
