Accused Shailesh Mehta with Sohana police in Punjab
Shailesh Mehta, the father of fraud-accused Ashesh, was arrested in Punjab by the Sohana police in SAS Nagar district, popularly known as Mohali, on December 2. The arrest was made after a 78-year-old businessman from Punjab, Viresh Singhal, accused Shailesh, Ashesh, and his wife Shivangi, of cheating him of Rs 1.20 crore by convincing him to invest in their company, ‘Bliss Consultant Trading Company’.
Singhal’s FIR accused the trio of crimes under Sections 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust), and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). According to police sources, Singhal registered an FIR with the Sohana police in Punjab in November. He alleged that on Shailesh’s assurances, he invested Rs 1.20 crore between 2021 and 2023 in ‘Bliss Consultant Trading Company’. Although Shailesh assured him of timely withdrawals, the businessman faced difficulties while attempting to retrieve his investment in June and July this year.
