Police in Nashik have detained six suspects, including a self‑styled godman, for allegedly running a black‑magic scheme that duped victims of about ₹15 crore.
Police in Nashik announced the arrest of six individuals suspected of orchestrating a black‑magic fraud that promised a "Money Rain" to investors, allegedly siphoning off roughly ₹15 crore. The operation, described by investigators as a sophisticated scam, involved promises of supernatural wealth generation through ritualistic practices.
Among those taken into custody is a self‑proclaimed godman who claimed to wield divine powers to trigger the alleged cash flow. Authorities say the accused collected money from victims across the region, promising that a ritual would cause a sudden influx of cash, a claim that later proved baseless.
The Nashik police have filed charges of fraud and criminal conspiracy against the six suspects and are continuing their probe to identify additional victims and recover the misappropriated funds.
