A Bhopal contractor, Sachin Sharma (43), has filed a complaint alleging that he was defrauded of more than Rs 1.92 crore by four individuals, including a Goa-based casino operator named Srinivas, on the pretext of investing in a casino and restaurant business in Goa. Sharma met Srinivas in Goa about four years ago and was introduced to three associates, who persuaded him to invest with promises of substantial returns. He allegedly paid the four men a total of Rs 1.92 crore, including Rs 20 lakh handed over in Bhopal. When Sharma did not receive the promised returns or his principal investment back, he demanded a refund, but the accused allegedly began avoiding him. After failing to recover his money, Sharma approached the court. Acting on the court's directions, Nishatpura police registered a cheating case on Friday against all four accused and launched an investigation. A police team will soon be sent to Goa to trace and arrest the accused.
