Luxury Vehicle Fraud Scheme Unveiled
According to police, on October 17, 2025, a person submitted a complaint stating that he had let out his four luxury vehicles to Krishna Dixit and his associates, for renting them out for weddings and events.
The accused initially gained the complainant's trust by paying rent for one vehicle for some time, but later stopped making payments.
In addition, the accused also manipulated the complainant to transfer around Rs 10 lakh online under the pretext of organising an event.
Later, the complainant learnt that the accused had allegedly mortgaged or sold his vehicles to others.
Based on this, a case was registered under relevant sections at New Colony police station.
Arrest and Interrogation of the Accused
The team of Sector 17-based crime unit arrested the alleged mastermind Dixit on Friday, police said.
"During interrogation, it was revealed that the accused, along with his associate Harish and other accomplices had conspired and taken luxury vehicles from the complainant on rent.
Thereafter, instead of paying rent, the accused mortgaged/sold the vehicles to other persons and also cheated the complainant of Rs 10 lakh in the name of organising a wedding event," the Gurugram Police spokesperson said.
Another accused, Harish Khatri, had been arrested in this connection earlier, and a Fortuner was recovered from his possession, he said.
Ongoing Investigation and Further Inquiries
The accused are being questioned to ascertain the extent of the fraud, the spokesperson said, adding that a case related to theft and cheating is already registered against the accused Krishna Dixit in Gurugram.
