The most touted couple in this city of Allahabad Niharika and Abhishek had not just duped the common man but they had the guts to take ex servicemen, police officers and even lawyers for a ride.
They duped them also.
They lured them into investing 10 to 50 lakh with promise of good returns from share market and real state ventures.
Sources said, several police officers had deposited money into their accounts in return for cheap plots at Gauhania and Ayodhya.
On its part the Shivkuti police till now has failed to trace the couple believed to be hiding at a safe place.
The couple is said to have run away after taking a sum of Rs 400 crore from so many investors from different cities.
Sources said, Abhishek was involved in travel business before entering real state and investment business. He had duped several persons in this business also.
