NEW DELHI: A married couple has been arrested in Maharashtra in connection with what is believed to be one of the biggest frauds in the country after they cheated two lakh people of Rs 500 crore, police said here on Monday.
Ulhas Prabhakar Khaire, 33 and his wife Raksha J Urs, 30 were arrested in Ratnagiri last week.
"They duped the people, posing under the fake names as Lokeshwar Dev and Priyanka Saraswat Dev, on pretext of investment in their company 'Stock Guru India' situated at (west) Delhi's Rama Road on the promise of lucrative returns and against promissory notes provided by the accused and others," joint commissioner of police (Economic Offences Wing) Sandeep Goel said.
The fraud is worth approximately Rs 500 crore and two lakh people were cheated across the country, he said.
The couple was also involved in several other cases of cheating, forgery and fraud registered in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Sikkim and Maharashtra, Goel said.
Cruiser motorcycles might not be very popular in India, but there is still a segment of buyers who prefer to buy these body style of bikes. While there is little option at the lower end of the segment, at high price brackets there are quite a few alternatives. Earlier this year, DSK Motowheels launched the Hyosung GV650 Aquila Pro, which offers quite a lot to the cruiser enthusiast. Priced at Rs. 5.46 lakhs (Mumbai), the GV650 is significant value.
