Shivamogga: Cheating complaint - Nowhera Shaikh in police custody


Daijiworld Media Network - Shivamogga (SP) 

Shivamogga, Jul 29: The city police have taken into custody Nowhera Shaikh, president of Mahila Empowerment Party and entrepreneur, in case of cheating. 

It is said that Nowhera Sheikh was operating a Ponzi scheme through her Heera Group. The company had promised interest of Rs 3,000 per month to people depositing one lac rupees with the group. Many had invested money in the group. Over 20 people from Shivamogga had invested over RS 25 lac in the firm and they used to get interest promptly for some time. It is said that they have not been getting interest payment of late. As there was no clarify on the return of deposits, these people had filed police complaint in the cyber, economic offences and narcotics police station. 

Recently, Nowhera had been arrested by the Hyderabad police. As many in the city feel cheated by her, the police from here took her into custody and bought her here for investigation.

    Interference of politicians and their demand "haftha" is one of the major factors behind collapsing of few schemes. We have seen 100s of such scandals in the past from many decades in India and abroad as well. Human being by nature is greedy. Hope this scam will turn out to be the last nail to realize the investors.

    Why in our nation, investments in banks and financial institutions, are termed as Haraam ??? Whereas investments in illegal, dubious, transactions as Hallal ??? These funds are undocumented, hence NIL taxes, are deposited in the national treasury !!! These funds are utilized for anti national activities, hell bent to destroy the unity and social fabric of our natiom !!!!

    Do you have any clue where exactly gold would deliver when the passenger caught at airport and the gold under his possession slip into the hands of custom authorities and the passenger on the other side lands in jail empty handed.

    What's the fault of the investors btw. You have raised a valid question about halal and Haram. To understand the basics of Islam you should visit your nearest Islamic library center surrounding your location. This is not the right platform for religious discussion. I can also raise many issues about Christianity which I could not get through well.

    Both were greedy i.e., the giver and receiver. The deposit receiver promised 36% p.a. on Rs. 1 Lakh investment to an investor. I don't the cheater I blame the investor as he turned out to be a fool. Now run from pillar to post to get back that money. Both are crooks.

    Rs. 3000 pm return on Rs. 1 Lac investment – That is around 36% return per annum!!! What kind of legal business could possible generate that kind of return as a passive income?

    Who are these investors who are ‘smart’ enough to have spare cash available for investment; but ‘dumb’ enough to believe that a 36% return from a passive income is achievable in this day and age?

    @Prasad, Mangaluru
    @Shankar, Mangaluru

    Please read my comments again – I said return as a “passive” income.

    Banks may charge 40% interest pa on credit card, but do they offer even quarter of that rate on FD? NO, because they are also exposed to significant credit risk on their advances.

    Right kind of IPO’s / Stocks may offer well over 36% return – but does any fund manager “guarantee” that kind of return? NO, because investment in equity is also exposed to significant market risk.

    The basic question is – 36% return – Is it “possible”? Absolutely yes; Then, is it “probable”? Highly unlikely.

    If you chose the right stocks or IPOs and invest, 36% per annum is not impossible.

    The investors must be arrested too for supporting a Ponzi scheme.

    But, more importantly, the investors may not be paying any tax on their special earnings.

    3% for one month, 36 percent for a year...how can they give such high return with doing normal business? People should think before investing.
