A fraud scheme in Rajasthan that pretended to offer a 50% stake in a hospitality venture duped victims of ₹3.5 million and later threatened them with death.
Police in Rajasthan have opened an investigation into a fraud that lured investors with the promise of a half‑ownership share in a hospitality business. The scheme reportedly collected a total of ₹3.5 million from several individuals before the promised partnership failed to materialise.
According to the complaint lodged by the victims, the perpetrators used fabricated documents and false assurances to convince the investors that they would receive a 50% stake in a lucrative venture. When the victims sought clarification, they were allegedly threatened with physical harm, including threats to their lives.
Authorities are now tracing the suspects, examining the forged paperwork, and seeking to locate the individuals responsible for the alleged death threats. The case underscores growing concerns over investment scams in the state and the need for stricter vigilance among potential investors.
