Uttar Pradesh duo accused of massive property fraud

An elderly widow in Meerut, Manisha Tyagi, trusted her maid and driver for over 14 years—but after she passed away in February, they allegedly took advantage of the situation.
Police say the pair embezzled more than ₹18 lakh from her bank account and tried to shift her assets to themselves.

TL;DR

How the truth surfaced

The truth surfaced when Tyagi's niece filed a police complaint.
Investigators found that the driver changed Tyagi's bank details and made his own daughter the nominee.
There was even a suspicious ₹18.5 lakh transfer right after Tyagi's death.
Now, an FIR is out against eight people for cheating and forgery as police dig deeper into what really happened with Tyagi's money and property.
