Those arrested include SpeakAsia's country head Sanjeev Mehta, Hemant Suryavanshi, Hemant Chavan, Sudhanshu Tripathy, Virendra Singh and Hasmukh Patel. Suryavanshi, Chavan, Tripathy and Singh were SpeakAsia's franchise holders while Patel, arrested from Ahmedabad, ran Patel communication franchise. It was Chhattisgarh resident, Singh, with whom Navneet Khosla, the complainant, had deposited his money as investment. Rajvardhan Sinha, EOW chief, said, "It's a lengthy investigation. We have filed a charge sheet earlier and are still investigating the case and arresting suspects."
In July 2011, Navneet Khosla, a Mumbai resident, had filed a police complaint stating that the firm had promised a return of Rs 52,000 on his investment of Rs 11,000.
The accused had made over 24 lakh investors, called panelists. Each panelist would be given an online survey form to fill up and would gain points. If all the points turn out to be correct, he would be paid Rs 52,000 for completing a year's survey. Many accused challenged the police case saying they were doing pure business. However, police filed its reply saying it was a criminal act. The police have recently invoked the sections of stringent law, Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) act and under this law as per court order attached properties could be auctioned to repay the investors.
The 'manager model' was Mehta's brainchild, said police, adding, he would identify potential youths and would appoint them as managers in SpeakAsia to lure people. "Mehta along with his family was staying in a rented flat in Pune. The cheating of over Rs 2,276 crore would not have been possible without the help and participation of the arrested accused," said B P Shelke, the chief investigating officer.
The police have found financial transaction of more than Rs 150 crore that was done to the firm through the six arrested accused. "There is an FIR against the SpeakAsia in Bangladesh for cheating over three lakh people. We also communicated the Bangladesh police in this regard. Besides this, cases of cheating against the SpeakAsia suspects have been registered in various police stations in the country," said a police source.
The EOW has till date arrested 30 persons and filed a 7,500-page charge sheet against 21 persons and entities in December 2013. "We have frozen more than 250 bank accounts that contain around Rs 142 crore in them. The SpeakAsia accused had invested crores of rupees of real estate and buying properties," the source said.
