New Delhi: Delhi Police’s economic offense wing (EOW) has arrested a middle-aged woman for allegedly duping her friends and neighbours of Rs 1 crore on the pretext of kitty schemes in Delhi’s Dwarka. The accused identified as Sarla Garg (52), is a resident of Dwarka, where she lives with family. She reportedly organised several kitty parties at her home where she promised huge profits to the participants in lieu of short-term high value investments. It was alleged that the accused duped over 25 people by enticing them by her Ponzi scheme. “She had promised to return the matured amount within 15 months, but even after passing of the maturity period, she neither returned the principal amount nor paid any profit to the investors. After a few months, Sarla along with her family members left her address and shifted to some other unknown place,” the victims had alleged. The complaints alleged that the accused used to run a kitty scheme from her house and had collected about Rs 1.01 crore from the victims. A case was registered against the accused on the joint complaints of 28 people under sections 406, 420, 120(B) and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. As per cops, the accused used her WhatsApp mobile number to chat with the victims and send the kitty scheme messages. The victims unanimously stated that the accused had taken money from them in the name of kitty and promised good returns through lucrative schemes. Some complainants provided screenshots of WhatsApp chats to the police. “She made friendly relationships with victims in a short span of time and started operating kitty from her home. She induced victims, who were living in the same society and collected money,” the police said. The police official said that one Mohammad Shoeb used to collect money from the victims on the behalf of the accused.
