Madhya Pradesh’s Crime Investigation Department has disclosed a ₹42 crore fraud involving chit‑fund companies operating in four districts of the state.
The Crime Investigation Department (CID) of Madhya Pradesh announced that a large‑scale financial fraud amounting to ₹42 crore has been uncovered. The investigation revealed that a network of chit‑fund companies had been set up across four districts of the state, collecting money from investors under the pretense of high returns.
According to the CID report, the scheme operated in four unnamed districts, amassing the total sum through repeated collection cycles. Victims were reportedly promised regular payouts, but the funds were diverted for personal use by the promoters, leading to a massive loss for the participants.
Law enforcement officials have registered a case and are conducting a detailed probe to identify the individuals behind the operation. The department has urged the public to exercise caution while dealing with unregistered financial entities and has promised to pursue strict legal action against those found guilty.
