Rs20 lakh fraud: Ahmedabad

Certainly, from the news that I recently read on internet, my perception is developing to be that Ahmedabad is soon going to become the capital of frauds in India. Here is another story of a fraud from Ahmedabad Gujarat, where a man uses his soft and butter-laced words to turn out to be a confidence trickster.

What looks like another money-multiplying scam, a man from Ahemdabad claimed to have lost Rs 20.35 lakh he had invested in a scheme on the promise that he would be getting returns up to 15%. However, after four months of investment, the man realized that he had been duped by the fraudster (like Dr. Rajiv Pandit). A case in this connection was lodged at Ellisbridge (also the last known resident area of Dr. Rajiv Pandit, owner, country head and master mind of the fraud company MegaCare and his wife Dr. Megha Wasnik was in Ellisbridge region) police station on Tuesday.

Imtiyaz Shaikh, a resident of Rehmati Society in Behrampur area of Ahemdabad, lodged an FIR here with the Ellisbridge police. He alleged that one Gulam Ali Saiyed, a resident of Menal Society in Juhapura, duped him of Rs 20.35 lakh through a scheme in which he was promised returns of 15%. Which was not fulfilled.

Shaikh stated in the FIR filed with the Ellisbridge Police that Saiyed persuaded him hard for a couple of months to invest his money into his company, Trayo Investment, and get attractive returns upto 15%. Saiyed reportedly produced various documents before Shaikh to impress upon him the credibility of the company. The complainant said that he had invested in Saiyed's company between January and April this year.

However, according to Shaikh, he didn't receive any money from Saiyed as interest after that. He alleged that the accused was now refusing to pay even the principal money. Which indicates that it was a fraud. The complain had been lodged and investigation is on the case.
