Six Directors Booked for Alleged Rs 7 Crore Investment Fraud in Thane
Police in Maharashtra's Thane district have registered a case against six directors of a private investment firm accused of cheating 68 investors of Rs 7.09 crore by promising high returns. The fraud, involving multiple corporate shells, unfolded over several years. Victims, including a Mumbai vendor, were misled with delayed payouts and coerced affidavits. After arrests in May 2023, the accused secured bail and announced a new initiative. Investigations continue as some investors remain unpaid despite additional payments.
