Case 1: 100 crore loan

Rajesh a civil engineer from Mysuru was duped in the guise of getting a Rs 100-crore loan for a villa project. The five accused were paid Rs 10 lakh as commission for this purpose. The complaint says that the accused threatened to kill him when asked for the money paid to be returned.

case 2: RO water plant

In the case of Laxman, a contractor from Shivamogga, the accused promised to provide 106 Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification plants. Laxman was made to fork out Rs 26.25 Lakh for the same. However, none were supplied. The accused had similarly threatened to kill the complainant when asked for the money to be returned.

Modus Operandi
