Shreyas Talpade, Bollywood actor faces fresh allegations in a multi-crore chit fund scam. Authorities in Uttar Pradesh’s Mahoba district have filed a case against him and 14 others. The case involves the company, The Loni Urban Multistate Credit and Thrift Cooperative Society Limited.
The Scheme That Lured Villagers
The accused allegedly promised villagers high returns on their investments. Reports suggest the company’s agents assured people their money would double quickly. However, after collecting large sums, the company shut down suddenly.
The fraudulent operations continued for over a decade in Mahoba district. Villagers, unaware of the scam, invested their hard-earned money. The company disappeared, leaving them with significant financial losses.
Legal Action and Investigation
Police in Jammu and Kashmir registered a fraud case against Talpade and others. The case was filed at the Srinagar police station. Authorities are investigating the extent of the scam.
This isn’t the first time Talpade has faced links to financial fraud. In February, an FIR was filed against him and veteran actor Alok Nath in Lucknow, accusing them of defrauding investors of Rs. 9 crore. The case was filed at the Gomti Nagar Police Station.
Additionally, Talpade and Alok Nath were named in a multi-level marketing fraud case in Sonipat, Haryana. The legal troubles surrounding Talpade continue to mount.
Talpade’s Alleged Role in the Scam
Reports suggest Shreyas Talpade served as the brand ambassador for the chit fund scheme, helping the cooperative society gain villagers’ trust. The company operated 35 unauthorized branches in Uttarakhand and faced links to similar scams in other regions.
Talpade has not yet issued a public statement regarding the allegations. His exact role in the scam remains unclear as the investigation continues.
Ongoing Probes and Legal Scrutiny
Authorities are determined to uncover the full extent of the fraud. Investigators are collecting evidence and tracing the funds. They expect more revelations about the scam in the coming weeks.
