LUCKNOW, March 24 -- An FIR has been registered against Shine City Company director Rashid Naseem, two others and an associated firm for allegedly duping an investor of Rs.16.41 lakh, police said on Monday. The case was lodged at Gomti Nagar police station following a court order. SHO Gomti Nagar Brajesh Chandra Tiwari said that a case has now been registered against Rashid Naseem, Vikram Singh Yadav, Rahul Sharma and the associated firm on the court's direction under IPC section 409, 467, 468, and 471. Further investigation is underway, and action will be taken based on evidence. According to the complaint filed by Mukesh Kumar on March 21, a resident of Guru Ravidas Nagar in Hazratganj, he was introduced to company officials in 2017 through Vikram Singh Yadav. He was later taken to the company's office in Gomti Nagar, where he met Rashid Naseem and another official, Rahul Sharma. The complainant alleged that Naseem lured him into investing in Shine City projects and Bitcoin schemes by promising to double his money within six months. He was also assured additional benefits, including a plot, an SUV and other expensive gifts. Believing the claims, Kumar said he deposited a total of Rs.16.41 lakh into the account of a firm between May 15, 2017, and May 5, 2019. However, even after the promised period elapsed, he neither received any returns nor the assured benefits. When he sought a refund, the accused allegedly evaded him and later issued threats, he claimed. After no action was taken on his initial complaint at the police station, Kumar approached the court. htc...
