Insurance agent charged with cheating client

It is unclear for now if she is the same woman mentioned in the police statement.

Shahul is also accused of duping the client into believing that she was covered under a “special premium scheme” on June 29 that year.

He also allegedly cheated a firm called Pan Asia Intercontinental, and is said to have duped it into believing that the woman was one of its staff. He is also accused of applying for her to be covered under its corporate insurance plan.

Pan Asia Intercontinental allegedly approved her coverage soon after.

Police said in an earlier statement that officers received a report from a victim on Sept 17, 2025.

A police spokesperson added: “(She) was unable to make a claim from her personal insurance policy for outstanding medical bills amounting to $56,444.51, despite making premium payments to an insurance agent.

“Through investigations, officers established that the man, who was working as an insurance agent, had allegedly failed to secure a personal insurance policy for the victim.”

Instead, he purportedly placed the victim under a corporate hospital plan without her knowledge, even though she was not an employee of the company linked to it, the police said.

Shahul’s case will be mentioned again in court on May 6.

For criminal breach of trust as an agent, an offender can be jailed for up to 20 years and fined.

For each count of cheating, an offender can be jailed for up to three years, fined or both.
