Wake County man charged with insurance fraud, attempting to obtain property under false pretense
RALEIGH
Jun 10, 2026
North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey today announced the arrest of Aakarshit Mahajan, 24, of 1303 Kent Road, Raleigh. Mahajan was charged with insurance fraud and attempting to obtain property by false pretense, both felonies.
Special agents with the Department of Insurance's Criminal Investigations Division accuse Mahajan of submitting false medical documents and photographs of damage to USAA to support his insurance claim because of a motor vehicle crash. Mahajan intended to fraudulently obtain $30,000 from USAA.
Mahajan was arrested on May 26 and given a $15,000 secured bond.
Commissioner Causey encourages North Carolinians to help keep insurance premiums low by reporting suspicious fraud. "Insurance fraud is not a victimless crime," Commissioner Causey said. "It hits all of us in the pocket through higher premiums."
If you suspect insurance fraud or other white-collar crimes, please report it. You may anonymously report fraud by calling the N.C. Department of Insurance Criminal Investigations Division at 919-807-6840 or toll free from anywhere in North Carolina at 888-680-7684.
