The Delhi Police Economic Offences Wing (EOW) apprehended a couple, Chanderdeep Chamoli and Sarita Chamoli, for allegedly defrauding 48 investors of approximately Rs 2 crore through unauthorized committee schemes.
According to EOW records, an FIR was filed on October 16 of the previous year following complaints by Kuldeep Singh and 47 other victims. The complainants alleged that the Chamolis operated multiple committee schemes from an Inderpuri office, luring residents with promises of high, guaranteed returns. Initially, the couple paid small, punctual returns to build investor trust.
Investigations revealed that the Chamolis had been running these schemes since 2013-14, conducting over 52 committee meetings. Despite some schemes maturing, the couple failed to return principal investments or promised profits, eventually closing their office and absconding in April 2025. Authorities found deliberately destroyed records and communication devices, suggesting an attempt to erase evidence.
After extensive searches across Uttar Pradesh, Chanderdeep was arrested in Rampur on February 2, followed by Sarita’s arrest on February 12. Police continue to investigate the network of investors and recover defrauded funds.
