Three ‘investors’ cheat company of Rs 56 lakh in Gujarat

AHMEDABAD: The directors of Riddhi Corporate Services were duped of Rs 56.37 lakh by three men. The Cybercrime police registered a case of cheating and breach of trust against accused Mohammed Ansari, Prashant Kulshrestha and Rahul.

Hardik Bhavsar, who works at the company office on Ashram Road, said the con began in February 2021 when we got a call from Rahul, who claimed he was an investor willing to invest in our A-listed company.

He told police, “Rahul and the other two met directors Alpit Gor and Umesh Bhadreshwara multiple times. They expressed willingness to invest provided the firm paid Rs 56.37 lakh as processing fee. The company gave the money.” When no investment was made, a police complaint was filed.
