A businessman in Mumbai’s Vile Parle East fell victim to a scam involving a multi-crore fraud, abduction, and extortion. Initially lured with promises of high investment returns, the businessman was duped of Rs 3.25 crore by a group of individuals.
The accused convinced the businessman to invest Rs 1 crore with the assurance of substantial profits. When the businessman grew suspicious and demanded his money back, he and his company’s General Manager were allegedly held at gunpoint, threatened, and forced to transfer an additional Rs 2.25 crore.
A case has been filed against 10 accused individuals at the Airport Police Station in Mumbai, and a manhunt is underway to apprehend them.
