Indore: Crime branch arrested two persons involved in a major fraud case where they deceived a local businessman under the pretext of a marble mining partnership. The accused obtained more than Rs 1 crore along with expensive machinery from the complainant. Investigations revealed that they similarly defrauded many individuals by signing fraudulent partnership agreements.
Additional DCP Rajesh Dandotiya said that the complainant approached the police alleging that Dashrath Singh and Chhatrabeer Singh along with others deceived him by falsely promising a stake in a marble mining venture. The accused convinced the businessman to invest in the project, taking over Rs 1 crore and expensive machinery, including an excavation machine, wire saw, and generator.
Investigation revealed that the accused illegally sold the complainant's excavation machine to another person in Rajasthan, falsely claiming ownership. They concealed these fraudulent transactions from the complainant and continued to mislead him. Additionally, the accused sold thousands of tonnes of marble from the mine and generated substantial profits while deliberately withholding the complainant's rightful share, thereby orchestrating a large-scale financial fraud.
Based on the complaint, a case was registered at the Indore crime branch. The police arrested Dashrath Singh Solanki and Chhatrabeer Singh Solanki, both residents of Bundi, Rajasthan. The accused are currently in police remand for further investigation and additional legal proceedings are underway to uncover more details about the fraud.
