Solanki Charged with Auto Insurance Fraud

Santosh Solanki, a 48 year old dentist from San Bernardino County, was arrested and charged with car insurance fraud for a claim he submitted. Solanki surrendered to the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s office after they issued a felony arrest warrant for him. The warrant claims that he committed auto insurance fraud, and Solanki has been charged with the crime.

The District Attorney’s Office says that the Diamond Bar dentist has been investigated by their Auto Insurance Fraud Unit, and has been found to commit insurance fraud against the Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The car insurance company became suspicious of a claim that Solanki made for damage to his car.

Solanki made a claim to his car insurance company for damages that his car had sustained. The problem was that he claimed damages that were from a previous accident, plus that accident had already been paid for by the auto insurance company. Solanki was claiming the damages twice, and therefore was trying to get financial gain from the insurance company.

Solanki has been charged and his bail is set at $10,000. The dentist has offices in Rancho Cucamonga and Glendora, and it is not known when he will return to work.
