Mumbai Man Arrested for Rs 30 Crore Share Market Investment Fraud
Rohan Bhushan Sheth, a 56-year-old Mumbai-based conman, was arrested in Valsad for allegedly defrauding 42 investors across Maharashtra and Gujarat of over Rs 30 crore through a fabricated share market investment scheme. Using three aliases and a wig, Sheth promised monthly returns up to 5%, showing falsified profit statements and hosting investors in luxury apartments. The Economic Offences Wing traced and arrested him after payments stopped in late 2023 and he disappeared, with losses including Rs 10.81 crore from one family alone.
