In the past, we’ve heard a lot of celebs coming out and speaking about how they were cheated by someone or the other. Joining the list of celebs is none other than Bollywood actress Rimmi Sen. The actress recently filed an FIR with Mumbai police after she was defrauded of Rs. 4.14 crore by a businessman in Goregaon. The businessman had promised the actress a profit of 28-30% after which she had invested in a new business venture with him via her film production company.
The 40-year-old actress claimed in her report to the police that the fraud began back in 2019 and since then the businessman neither returned the principal amount nor the promised profit.

As per reports, it was when the businessman did not give her the promised profit and started making excuses, when Rimmi Sen further pushed him. In March 2020, the businessman transferred Rs. 3 lakh but did not pay anything more. And so when she deposited the security check, she realised that the bank account was locked.
After that Rimmi Sen came to know that the businessman never launched any new venture. It was then she approached the police and filed a complaint against him. On Tuesday, the police charged him with defrauding and a criminal breach of trust.
The businessman from Goregaon, Mumbai, is currently on the run and the police cannot reach him on his phone numbers since they are all inactive.
