Lucknow: Another FIR has been registered in Gomtinagar police station against Ajit Gupta, director of Ani Bullion Traders Company and his wife IFS Niharika Singh, accused of defrauding hundreds of investors of crores. On the orders of the court, the FIR of fraud of one and a half crores has been lodged by Vishal Khand resident Dr. Shailesh Agarwal and his wife Mridula. Both have alleged that this fraud has been done with them in the year 2020. ED is also investigating against this company and has seized property worth crores.
STF had also arrested accused Ajit Kumar Gupta in July 2020. Dr. Shailesh Agarwal has alleged in the FIR lodged on Wednesday September 25 that Ajit Kumar and his wife Niharika Singh used to come to his clinic for consultation since 2016. During this time the acquaintance grew. Meanwhile, both of them told about their company Ani Bullion Traders. Then he told them about several schemes like daily deposit scheme, monthly recurring scheme, fixed scheme and asked them to invest. They got convinced by his words and invested about 90 lakh rupees at different times. For some time, they kept getting interest on the principal amount, but later it was stopped.
Like Shailesh, his wife Mridula Agarwal alleged in the FIR lodged on Thursday September 26 that Rs 51 lakh of hers was deposited in the name of investment. After the year 2019, interest on both the amounts stopped. On asking, Ajit said that his money has been invested in I Vision India Credit Cooperative Society Limited. Its office is in Delhi. It will also give good profit. After some time, he stopped getting money. Last year, he also complained about this in the DGP headquarters but the FIR was not registered. On this, he took refuge in the court. Gomti Nagar Inspector Rajesh Tripathi said that the FIR has been registered on the orders of the court. He has denied the knowledge of Niharika Singh being an IFS.
