Overview
- In the Rs 6.9 crore case involving a 70-year-old Greater Kailash resident, police traced three primary accounts in Kolkata, Delhi and Chhattisgarh and froze over Rs 2.89 crore.
- Two suspects — Divyang Patel and Krutik Shitole — were arrested in Vadodara in the NRI doctor couple’s Rs 14.85 crore case and were remanded to two days’ police custody.
- Investigators allege about Rs 4 crore from that case was funneled into a bank account in the name of Patel’s NGO, later found to be fictitious, before being split into smaller transfers.
- A third arrest in the couple’s case was reported by another outlet, naming KS Tiwari from Prayagraj, though other official accounts referenced only two arrests.
- The Rs 14.85 crore was routed through multiple large transfers to accounts across several states, with about Rs 2.10 crore put on hold, and callers masqueraded as Mumbai Police or ED officers to keep victims under “digital arrest.”
