Mumbai police have registered a case against five individuals accused of defrauding investors of Rs 3.57 crore through fraudulent IPO and stock market investment schemes in Ghatkopar. The accused are Ghatkopar residents Nemin Kirit Dani, Neha Nemin Dani, Sarla Kirit Dani, Kirit Dani, and Vinit Rita, a sub-broker linked to Inventure Growth & Securities Limited.
The victims included homemaker Zarna Mitul Dadia, who lost Rs 2.77 crore, and Hiten Ghanshyam Mehta, who allegedly lost Rs 80 lakh. According to the complaint, the Dani family became acquainted with the accused through a friendship between their daughters. Neha Dani claimed her husband worked as a broker associated with Inventure Growth & Securities Limited, encouraging her mother-in-law to invest.
The victims were reportedly promised guaranteed monthly returns of five per cent on their investments. As returns dwindled, the accused allegedly resorted to threats and cited market conditions to delay repayments. The case is being investigated under relevant sections of the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (in Financial Establishments) Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
