A 'Baba' and his associates were apprehended for defrauding individuals of over Rs 1.5 crore, claiming to double their money through supernatural means. The arrests followed complaints from victims who were threatened when demanding refunds. A manhunt for additional suspects is underway, with a case registered against the accused.

In a shocking turn of events, a self-proclaimed religious figure known as 'Baba' and his two associates have been arrested for running a massive fraud operation. Authorities revealed that these individuals deceived unsuspecting victims by promising to double their money using so-called supernatural forces.

The arrests were made after Shakeel Ahmed, a resident from the ITI area of ​​Kashipur, lodged a formal complaint. The police, led by District Senior Superintendent of Police Ajay Ganpati, identified the accused as Sartaj Ali, also known as Qadri Baba, and his accomplices, Shafiq Ahmed and Mohammad Arif, hailing from Rampur, Uttar Pradesh.

The fraudulent scheme involved convincing people of their association with a 'jinn' who could allegedly provide financial miracles. The deceit led to the collection of over Rs 1.5 crore, which was used by the accused for personal gain. When victims sought their money back, they were met with threats. The police have registered a case and are actively searching for other individuals involved.
