Odisha Economic Offenses Wing will interrogate actor Govinda in connection with the Rs 1,000 crore online ponzi scam. Solar Techno Alliance is accused of running online Ponzi scam in the name of illegal crypto investment in many countries.
This company was promoted and supported by Govinda. That is why Odisha Crime Branch has taken Govinda’s name for questioning.
EOW Inspector General JN Pankaj told the media, βWe will soon send a team to Mumbai to interrogate filmstar Govinda, who had attended STA’s grand function in Goa in July and promoted the company in some videos. The exact role of Govinda will be clear only after investigation.β
βIf we find in the investigation that his role was limited to promoting the product as per his commercial contract, we will make him a witness in our case,β he said.
Meanwhile, the company has reportedly collected Rs 30 crore from 10,000 people in Bhadrak, Keonjhar, Balasore, Mayurbhanj and Bhubaneswar. According to the media, under this scam the company took lakhs of rupees from investors in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Jharkhand and other states.
The Economic Offenses Wing has arrested the company’s country and Odisha heads Gurtej Singh Sidhu and Nirod Das on August 7. Bhubaneswar-based investment advisor Ratnakar Palai was arrested on August 16 for having links with Sidhu.
A lookout notice was also issued against the company’s head, Hungarian national David Gage.
