Mumbai:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In yet another shocking case of exploitation of vulnerable citizens, the Santacruz Police have busted a bizarre \u201cmoney rain\u201d scam in which a 76-year-old Juhu businessman was cheated of \u20b91.5 lakh. Two accused from Gujarat have been arrested, while police are now on the lookout for others involved in the elaborate plot.<\/p>\n\n

According to the police, the victim \u2014 grieving his wife\u2019s recent death and struggling under heavy debt incurred during her prolonged illness \u2014 was targeted by a group that claimed to possess supernatural powers capable of \u201cmaking money rain\u201d to erase financial troubles.<\/p>\n\n

A Senior Citizen Targeted During His Most Vulnerable Phase<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The victim, who runs a dairy business registered in his late wife\u2019s name, fell into severe debt while arranging funds for her treatment. After her passing, he returned to Mumbai emotionally and financially drained.<\/p>\n\n

During this period, he reportedly confided in an acquaintance identified as \u201cKhan Sahab,\u201d who then introduced him to two individuals \u2014 Sahil and Imran. The duo allegedly claimed they could perform mystical rituals to generate unlimited money.<\/p>\n\n

To win his trust, they even staged a demonstration by pulling out small bundles of cash from their clothing, convincing him of their so-called supernatural ability.<\/p>\n\n

The Ritual, The Scam & The Fake Currency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

On October 25, 2025, the elderly businessman met the accused at Juhu Chowpatty as instructed. They collected \u20b91.5 lakh in cash from him, performed a dramatic ritual, and handed over a bag supposedly filled with money produced through their powers.<\/p>\n\n

But when he returned home and opened the bag, he discovered it was stuffed with fake \u20b9500 and \u20b9200 notes bearing labels such as \u201cIndian Entertainment Bank\u201d and \u201cIndian Children\u2019s Bank.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Realising he had been duped, he immediately approached the Santacruz Police, who registered a case of cheating and criminal conspiracy.<\/p>\n\n

Police Track Down Accused In Gujarat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Police used CCTV footage and technical intelligence to trace the accused, who had fled to Gujarat after the crime. A team was dispatched to Botad town, where two suspects \u2014 Ilyas Karim Musani and Sohilbhai Jigarbhai Shaikh<\/strong> \u2014 were detained.<\/p>\n\n

During interrogation, both reportedly confessed to their involvement in the scam and were subsequently arrested. Efforts are now underway to trace other accomplices, including those who played supporting roles in the ritual setup.<\/p>\n\n

Investigators Suspect More Victims<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Police are verifying whether the same gang targeted other financially distressed citizens using similar \u201cmoney rain\u201d rituals. Officers said the elaborate staging, fake currency, and psychological manipulation indicate a well-planned racket operating across states.<\/p>\n\n

This incident serves as a stark reminder of how fraudsters continue to prey on emotional and vulnerable individuals by exploiting spiritual beliefs and financial desperation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
