Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade has found himself in legal trouble as a fraud case has been registered against him and 14 others in Uttar Pradesh.
The accusations involve duping people of crores under the guise of a chit fund scheme.
Fraud Operation in Uttar Pradesh Uncovered
Reports indicate that the fraudulent activity was being carried out in Mahoba district for nearly a decade. According to IANS, the accused were associated with a company named ‘The Loni Urban Multistate Credit and Thrift Cooperative Society Limited’, which misled villagers with false promises of high returns on their investments.
The company’s agents allegedly tricked people into investing crores, claiming their money would double in a short period. However, once the authorities began investigating the scheme, the agents shut down operations and disappeared.
A case has now been registered at the Srinagar police station, and an official investigation is underway.
