How Was the Complainant Allegedly Induced to Invest ₹80 Lakh?
According to the complaint, the accused presented themselves as experienced investors associated with the trading business and promised substantial returns on money invested through online applications.
Kamaljeet Singh alleged that he began investing in the scheme in 2021 and continued making payments until 2025.
He claimed to have transferred money online to Samdarsh Khera’s bank account on several occasions.
The complainant also alleged that substantial amounts were handed over in cash at the accused family’s residence, with their daughter present during the transactions.
Singh said he raised approximately ₹80 lakh by selling land and other property, obtaining bank loans in the names of family members and borrowing from friends and acquaintances.
He alleged that the promised returns and the accused’s representations persuaded him to continue investing money over several years.
Investment Returns Allegedly Stopped, Refund Requests Ignored
The complainant said the accused initially paid returns on the investments, which reinforced his confidence in the scheme.
However, the payments allegedly stopped after some time.
When Singh and other investors sought repayment of their money, the accused allegedly stopped responding to their telephone calls.
Singh further alleged that he was threatened with implication in false criminal cases if he continued demanding the return of his investment.
The complainant claimed that several other people may also have suffered financial losses through the same arrangement.
He expressed suspicion that the investment operation could have been an unregulated scheme or a Ponzi-type arrangement.
However, the nature of the alleged investment operation and the extent of losses suffered by other investors remain matters for investigation.
