The Indore Crime Branch has arrested two individuals, Dashrath Singh Solanki and Chhatrabeer Singh Solanki, in connection with a major fraud involving a fake marble mining partnership that defrauded a local businessman of over Rs 1 crore and expensive machinery.
According to Additional DCP Rajesh Dandotiya, the complainant alleged that the accused, along with others, falsely promised him a stake in a lucrative marble mining project. Trusting the partnership, the businessman invested Rs 1 crore and handed over costly machinery, including an excavation machine, wire saw, and generator.
Further investigation revealed that the accused sold the excavation machine to an individual in Rajasthan by falsely claiming ownership, without informing the complainant. They also sold thousands of tonnes of marble from the mine and earned significant profits but deliberately withheld the complainant’s share, orchestrating a large-scale financial fraud.
A case was registered at the Indore Crime Branch following the complaint. Both accused, residents of Bundi, Rajasthan, were taken into custody and are currently in police remand. The police continue their investigation to uncover additional details and possible accomplices involved in the scam.
