Nellore, March 4, 2025 – A major scam at Atmakur Post Office in Nellore district came to light, where postal agent Sheikh Imam Kasim misused depositors’ funds by forging signatures and withdrawing over ₹31 lakh. Several account holders had been depositing money for years, unaware of the fraud involving savings accounts, TDIs, NSCs, and KYC documents. The scam remained undetected for nearly five years until customers noticed discrepancies and confronted Kasim, who admitted to the wrongdoing.
In an attempt to avoid legal action, Kasim signed an agreement to return ₹30 lakh but failed to do so. The victims then filed a complaint, leading the police to launch an investigation into the fraud.
