\n
The accused — Tanweer Nazri and Md. Abdul Hasnain — the president and secretary of Vastav India Trust, respectively have been arrested for duping people on pretext of selling\/supplying LED bulbs in their solar awareness programme and giving pre-matric scholarship to the students in their ‘Chuuloo Aasman’ programme, said superintendent of police, EOW, Dilip Tripathy.<\/p>\n
\n
The Vastav India Trust registered with sub-registrar, Ranchi, Jharkhand, opened an office at Bomikhal, Bhubaneswar during March, 2022.<\/p>\n
\n
The arrested accused persons Tanweer and Abdul, in connivance with others launched two programmes on ‘solar awareness’ and ‘pre-matric scholarship’ namely ‘Chuuloo Aasman’.<\/p>\n
\n
Under the solar awareness programme, they used to collect Rs 1650 in cash from each applicant as member fee with assurance to supply them with LED bulbs, he said.<\/p>\n
\n
In their pre-matric scholarship programme, the trust was offering the scholarship of Rs 1,000 per month up to 24 months on their one-time deposit of Rs 3,000 as membership charge, said Tripathy.<\/p>\n
\n
The accused have collected about Rs 4 crore from more than 3,500 persons. Subsequently, the accused disappeared after closing down their offices.<\/p>\n
\n
The trust was inducing the gullible parents and general public in the name of social welfare programme and awareness.<\/p>\n
\n
It is totally a money circulation case, the SP said, adding, the trust has also cheated people of other states like Jharkhand, Delhi and Bihar.<\/p>\n
\n
