Bollywood Actors Face Cheating Allegations in Haryana
Actors Shreyas Talpade and Alok Nath are facing serious allegations in a cheating and breach of trust case filed at the Murthal police station in Sonipat district, Haryana. The First Information Report (FIR), registered on January 22, names the two actors among 13 accused individuals. The charges include criminal breach of trust, cheating, and fraudulent property transfer under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. This case has raised eyebrows in the entertainment industry and among fans, as both actors are well-known figures in Bollywood.
Allegations Against the Actors
The FIR was filed by Vipul Antil, a resident of Sonipat, who claims that the Human Welfare Credit Cooperative Society, registered in Indore, has duped investors. According to Antil, the society has been operating in multiple states, including Haryana, since September 16, 2016. The society allegedly promoted fixed deposit (FD) and recurring deposit (RD) schemes, promising high returns to investors. It utilized a multi-level marketing strategy that incentivized agents for recruiting new investors.
Ajeet Singh, the Additional Commissioner of Police (ACP) in Murthal, stated that the main complaint is against the cooperative society. He confirmed that the names of Shreyas Talpade and Alok Nath were included in the complainant’s statement. Singh emphasized that the investigation will determine the extent of the actors’ involvement, if any, in the alleged fraudulent activities. The case has sparked significant media attention, given the high profiles of the accused.
The Role of the Human Welfare Credit Cooperative Society
The Human Welfare Credit Cooperative Society is at the center of this controversy. Registered under the Multi-State Cooperative Society Act of 2002, the society has been accused of luring individuals into investing their money with false promises of lucrative returns. The society’s operations have raised concerns among regulators and investors alike.
The allegations suggest that the society employed deceptive practices to attract new members. By offering attractive returns on investments, it created a facade of legitimacy. However, many investors have reportedly not received their promised returns, leading to widespread dissatisfaction and distrust. The investigation will likely focus on the society’s business practices and whether they comply with legal standards.
