Shreyas Talpade and Alok Nath have landed into legal trouble as a cheating and breach of trust case has been filed against them at the Murthal police station in Sonipat district, Haryana. The FIR, registered on January 22, names the two actors among 13 others under Sections 316 (2), 318 (2), and 318 (4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The allegations include criminal breach of trust, cheating, and fraudulent property transfer.
Ajeet Singh, additional commissioner of police (ACP), Murthal, has informed The Print that the complainant included the names of actors – Shreyas and Alok – in their statement to police. “The main complaint is against the society that is alleged to have duped people of their money by luring them to invest. We will have to investigate what role, if any, is ascribed to Shreyas Talpade and Alok Nath,” explained Singh.
Vipul Antil, a resident of Sonipat, has filed a complaint against the Human Welfare Credit Cooperative Society, which is registered in Indore under the Multi-State Cooperative Society Act, 2002. He has claimed that the society has been operating in multiple states, including Haryana, since September 2016.
The society allegedly promoted fixed deposit (FD) and recurring deposit (RD) schemes with promises of high returns, using a multi-level marketing strategy that rewarded agents with incentives for recruiting additional investors.
