Hyderabad: Rein Bazar police busted a Rein Bazar cheating case involving a digital marketing scam and arrested two accused for cheating youth with false promises of easy income. The arrests followed credible information about organised illegal activities in the Charminar area.
Police apprehended Mohammed Akram, 22, and Mohd. Nouman Raza, 22, at Ethebar Chowk in Mirchowk on March 24. Both accused worked in digital marketing and allegedly ran the scheme targeting young people. The Rein Bazar cheating case emerged after multiple victims reported financial losses.
Investigators said the accused lured victims by promoting Forever Living Products through social media platforms. They promised easy money and convinced individuals aged between 18 and 25 to join the scheme.
Rein Bazar cheating case exposed multi-level fraud network
Police said the accused collected ₹200 as a joining fee to create IDs. Subsequently, they demanded ₹30,000 from each recruit and supplied products while promising high returns. However, in several cases, they neither returned the money nor delivered products.
According to investigators, Mohammed Akram operated an Instagram account to attract recruits. He later set up an office named “Achievers Club” in Karmanghat on a monthly rent of ₹70,000. The Rein Bazar cheating case revealed that the accused built a network of nearly 40 members to expand the scheme.
The accused provided recruits with contact numbers of potential victims. They encouraged them to bring in more members by promising commissions. They offered 40 to 50 percent commission on direct sales and smaller percentages on subsequent levels.
Police said the accused earned substantial commissions through this structure. They also promoted several members to managerial levels to sustain the network. The Rein Bazar cheating case thus operated as a structured money circulation scheme.
During the operation, police seized a Mercedes-Benz car, multiple mobile phones, an iPad and a MacBook. They also confiscated product stock, including aloe vera-based items and energy drinks, along with documents containing client data.
Police registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Telangana Protection of Depositors Act and the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes Act. They produced the accused before the court.
Officials said the investigation was ongoing to identify additional victims and financial links connected to the Rein Bazar cheating case. They also warned the public against joining schemes that promise quick and easy income.
The arrests were made under the supervision of senior officers, including ACP G. Shyam Sunder and DCP Khare Kiran Prabhakar, IPS, Charminar Zone.
