Mumbai, Mar 11: Police in Mumbai have booked five persons for allegedly duping more than 125 investors of around Rs 5.13 crore through a fraudulent investment scheme promising high monthly returns.
According to officials from the Mankhurd Police Station, the accused include Amanat Ali Ansari, proprietor of Dream Sunshine Digital Pvt. Ltd., along with his alleged partners Rahim Ansari, Ali Ansari, Nayeem Sarvar and Yogini Shirke. A case has been registered under the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors Act, and police are currently searching for the accused.
The complaint was filed by Saeed Khan, a 31-year-old IT engineer from Trombay. He alleged that he and several others were lured into investing in a scheme that promised a monthly return of five per cent.
Khan told police that around four years ago he was introduced to Nayeem Sarvar Musa Anjum, the owner of a gym in the Chita Camp area, who informed him about the investment scheme run by Dream Sunshine Digital Pvt. Ltd.
According to the complaint, Khan later visited the company’s office at Mohite Patil Nagar in Mankhurd, where Amanat Ali Ansari allegedly introduced himself as the company’s owner, while Rahim Abdul Ansari and Nawajis Ali Ansari were presented as partners and Yogini Shirke as an associate.
The accused reportedly claimed that the company was involved in businesses including water supply, sugar, dates trading and construction, and assured investors of steady monthly returns.
Trusting the claims, Khan initially invested Rs 2 lakh in October 2022 from his ICICI Bank account. After receiving returns for some time, he and his relatives invested more funds, eventually putting in Rs 23.70 lakh between 2022 and 2026.
However, Khan told police that the monthly payments stopped in February 2026. When he visited the company’s office to inquire, he found it shut and several other investors waiting outside.
He later learned that the accused had allegedly closed the office and fled.
Police said the accused allegedly collected deposits from more than 125 investors on the promise of high returns but failed to repay the invested amounts or the assured profits. Further investigation is underway.
