Police interrogation revealed that this is an organized gang. Which is run by Lucknow resident Pravesh Kumar Singh alias DK. Pravesh alias DK is luring small companies and NGOs and assuring them of funding the NGOs. After getting full consent from the company and the NGO, the accused Vishal Chauhan, Mobin Khan, Upendra Singh and others are sent to the company and the NGO by making them managers of their company and deals are made by showing the recovered money.
These people used to lure everyone that they would fund the entire money. But, for this you will have to pay ten percent of the money first and have a condition that if you do not complete the paperwork within an hour then we will not return your ten percent of the money. In this way, after collecting ten percent of the agreed funding amount, these people used to go away with fake money. The vicious people were going from Delhi to Lucknow on Sunday night with boxes full of money. Due to the car breaking down, they hid the boxes in the bushes. The amount recovered from them was being defrauded by showing the actual amount of Rs 2,34,500 as Rs 8,30,00,000.
