The accused allegedly collected huge amounts from the public as deposits with the promise of return at a high rate of interest. They failed to do honour the deal and, in turn, closed down offices and were on the run since.
“It was alleged that the accused persons collected huge amounts as deposits from the public on assurance to repay the amounts with a high rate of interest. But, the accused persons did not repay and closed down the offices and thereby cheated the investors and misappropriated the public money invested by depositors,” the agency said.
