A scandal involving digital wallet fraud has emerged in Indore, implicating seven customers accused of misappropriating more than Rs 5.7 crore from the Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), according to law enforcement officials.
The police investigation stems from the discovery that the digital wallets of over 1,000 customers had been erroneously recharged under BPCL’s 'Smart Fleet' scheme, amounting to an astonishing Rs 129.55 crore. These anomalies were brought to light during a data analysis conducted in March 2023 by the company.
Despite BPCL's efforts to rectify the situation and reclaim the funds, communication with the accused has been futile. Legal action under section 420 and other relevant statutes of the Indian Penal Code is underway as authorities continue probing the suspicious transactions.
