Mumbai Police Arrest Four in Rs 30 Crore Alleged Investment Fraud CasePreviousNext

Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing arrested four individuals linked to a Rs 30 crore alleged Ponzi and multi-level marketing (MLM) investment fraud involving companies named AI Origin and Digital Origin. The accused reportedly promised high returns and collected money without regulatory approval from RBI or SEBI. Police conducted raids at multiple locations, seized cash and assets, and found no evidence of the promoted business projects. Investigations continue, with authorities warning investors against schemes promising guaranteed high returns.
