Ahmedabad, Jun 6 (IANS): Gujarati singer and music director, Binny Sharma, has become the latest victim of an online fraud scam, resulting in the loss of his prized SUV worth a whopping Rs 40 lakhs.

The artist, known for his voice and performances, recently found himself entangled in a distressing ordeal involving fraudulent movers and packers. .

In a heartfelt plea shared on social media, Binny opened up about his distressing situation and sought assistance from his followers.

I have been a victim of the movers and packers scam. I have been dealing with this for past few days hoping that the guy would deliver but I think it's high time," he added.

Also, I'm about to file an FIR for theft of my car and extortion of money against holding my property/possession and threats of damaging my car if I don't pay more money," he concluded.
