Kamal Agrawal Duped Of Rs 9.38 Crore
He was tricked out of Rs 9.38 crore in an investment scam. Kamal invested through Haldiram Group's subsidiary, Om Industries Limited. He put money into a company called Royal Dryfruit Pvt. Ltd, which was run by the Lalani family.
The scammers told him that if he invested, he would get 76 per cent of the company's shares in return. By September 2023, he had already invested Rs 9.38 crore, but he did not receive any shares or any returns from the company.
Authorities later discovered that the accused had faked the company's financial documents by exaggerating the company's profits and turnover.
Haldiram's Turnover
Haldiram Snacks Foods has a revenue of around Rs 14,000 crore in FY24, according to Outlook Business. The company sells more than 400 varieties of namkeen, confectionery, and other packaged products.
