PINAKI MAJUMDAR
Jamshedpur, Sept 9: In a major breakthrough, Sakchi police have arrested Bhushan Singh, Managing Director of Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) Maxizone Touch Pvt Ltd, and his wife Priyanka Singh, the company’s Director, from Gurgaon.
Both have been brought to Jamshedpur and are currently held at Sakchi police station. An official statement from the police is still awaited.
According to sources, the company lured thousands of investors across Jamshedpur and other regions by promising high returns, hefty commissions, and even engaging Bollywood celebrities for promotions.
However, around three years ago, the company suddenly shut down without notice, fleeing with crores of rupees invested by the public.
