Actors Alok Nath and Shreyas Talpade Named in Cheating Case Linked to Investment Scheme

The Bollywood actors are among 13 accused in a police investigation into alleged fraud by the Human Welfare Credit Cooperative Society.

An FIR has been filed against 13 individuals, including actors Alok Nath and Shreyas Talpade, for alleged cheating and breach of trust in Haryana.
The case involves the Human Welfare Credit Cooperative Society, which is accused of luring investors with promises of high returns on fixed and recurring deposit schemes.
The society, active across multiple states since 2016, allegedly used multi-level marketing tactics and hosted events to attract investments.
Complainants claim that payments to investors were delayed, offices were shut down, and the society's leaders became untraceable by 2023.
Police are investigating the extent of the actors' involvement as brand ambassadors for the society, while the primary allegations target the organization's operators.
