Mumbai EOW Files ₹18.33 Crore Fraud Case
The Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing has started investigating a big fraud case.
A man named Vishal Pankaj Mehta, who runs a logistics company, says two shipping companies and their bosses cheated him out of ₹18.33 crore.
The accused companies are ALX Shipping Agencies India Pvt.
Ltd.
and a Dubai-based company called Aladdin Express DMCC.
The accused people are Sandeep Bakshi, Vikas Khan, and Ali Khan.
They are accused of taking money from Mehta but not paying their dues to port authorities.
Instead, they used the money for other things.
They also gave false promises and documents to trick Mehta.
The police are now looking into how the money was moved and if more people were involved.
