Raipur. Two thugs from Rajasthan and Gujarat duped a Raipur businessman of Rs 25.40 lakh on the pretext of giving double money within a month on investment in the stock market.
The accused have cheated more than a dozen people. However, a few days ago, the main accused Firoz Usman Lakhani was arrested by the ACCU in the case of cheating in the name of gram supply and sent to jail. Now another case has been registered against him. Firoz is also involved in hawala business. He had cited the money of some businessmen here. There is talk of manipulation in that. Police officers told that Rahul Dodwani, a resident of Amlidih, met Bablu Sharma of Rajasthan in 2021. He described himself as a stock trader.
He told that his partner Firoz Usman Lakhani is a big businessman. He looks after the share work of a dozen people of Raipur. Through him, he returns the money with double the profit within a month. Rahul is tricked. He deposited 25.40 lakhs in different instalments. The accused ran away with the money. Police is looking for Bablu.
