“The arrest was made after a thorough investigation revealed that Sunita was actively involved in the alleged fraudulent activities and had played a crucial role in the scam. Despite being summoned for questioning, Sunita had been evasive and non-cooperative, prompting the police to take action,” said a statement from the police.
The police further stated that the investigation had revealed that the main accused and his wife had allegedly cheated investors by promising them high returns on their investments.
Sunita Rodrigues will be produced before the Magistrate on December 8 Sunday, for remand, said a statement issued by the police.
In November this year, the EOC had booked Myron Rodirgues and his wife Deepali and five others for allegedly duping around 50 investors of approximately Rs 100 crore.
The case was recently transferred to the Crime Branch from the Economic Offences Cell (EOC). The Economic Offences Cell (EOC) had on December 5 claimed to have found gold ornaments worth around Rs three crore from the lockers of a private bank of Myron Rodrigues and his accomplices.
