"They took around Rs 5-7 lakh from each investor, claiming it would yield high returns, but even after two and a half years, none of the investors received their money back," Vishnoi said.

The investigators have so far identified 38 people who were defrauded through the scheme.

"Twenty-three FIRs have been filed against Jawed Habib, his son Anos Habib, and their associate Saiful. The scam appears to have been operated like an organised gang," Vishnoi said.
