Bollywood actress Rimi Sen has filed an FIR complaint after being allegedly defrauded by a Goregaon-based businessman of Rs 4.14 Crores!
As per a report, Rimi was promised 28-30 percent profits and was apparently forced to deposit the previously stated amount through her film production company.
The fraud had reportedly begun in 2019 when Rimi and the accused businessman met at an Andheri gym. The latter convinced her that he was involved in investments through his family’s company. Between February and July 2019, Rimi deposited a total of Rs 1 crore to the accused’s company. He allegedly guaranteed her 40 percent profits on any future investments made by her after receiving the capital.
A police officer stated, “When they became friendly, he approached her and offered 28-30 percent returns if she invested in his new business venture.” It was also mentioned that Rimi was given a cheque for Rs 3.50 Crore as security at the time.
After trying to confront the accused businessman when Sen did not receive the promised returns at the speculated time, he was unable to be contacted. In March 2020, when Rimi followed up on the situation with the accused, he just transferred a sum of Rs 3 Lakh to her firm’s bank account.
Next, Rimi deposited the Rs 3.50 Crore cheque that he had given her as security but the bank account had been locked. It was later revealed that the accused had never launched a business enterprise and she then reported the incident to the police. An FIR was filed at the Khar police station on Tuesday (29th March), charging the accused with defrauding and criminal breach of trust.
