A case has been registered at Gorai police station involving an unknown accused in a Rs 72 lakh fraud, wherein fake passes were created and sold under the name of Water Kingdom. The scam was uncovered last month when a staff member discovered several counterfeit gift voucher passes and reported the matter to the authorities.

According to the police FIR, Water Kingdom entry passes are priced at Rs 1,450. However, in 2023, the operating company launched promotional schemes, offering passes at a discounted rate of Rs 900 to authorised dealers. These dealers then sold the passes to customers, earning a profit of Rs 100 to Rs 200 per pass.
