Divyesh Darji Indian Head of BitConnect Arrested at Delhi Airport

On Saturday, the CID arrested a resident of Surat, DivyeshDarji, who has been blamed for duping crores of rupees in the wake of tricking people to put their Bitcoins in their organization, which was headquartered in Surat. Darji was one of the promoters of the digital moneyinvestment organization, along with DhavlMavani,Suresh Gorasiya and SatishKumbhani. Ashish Bhatia, CID crime DGP, said that in light ofa look-out notice, Darji, was intercepted by migration officials at Delhi airplane terminal in the wake of landing from a departure from Dubai. "He was brought to Gandhinagar on Saturday," included Bhatia.

In apparently desperate occasions, human psychology may have a tendency to surrender promptly to all sort of credulity not typically conceived. That well-worn suspicion, with regards to too good to be true claims, dulls when seemingly required most. Hypothetically, that is the end result for some Indian financial investors. In late 2016, its legislature demonetized all ₹500 and ₹1000 notes of the Mahatma Gandhi arrangement. It would similarly to what might be called banning $10 and $20 bills in US.

It was a push to strangle the developing Indian underground black market, which the government claimed was subsidizing terrorism and illegal activity. But the rollout was immediate , prompt, and regularly hamfisted. Money shortages exacerbated, and an as of now limping along economy hiccuped forcefully. At PM Narendra Modi's declaration, stock records threatened twofold digit drops, the previously mentioned deficiencies, and bank runs described genuine national frenzy.

 

CID DGP, Ashish Bhatia, said the organization was begun in November-December 2016, soon after demonetization was reported.

The organization had an office in Surat and was registered in the UK. They brought in their own 'BitConnect coins' into the market not long after demonetization. They advanced the organization by holding gala functions in cities across the world and via social media networking. They tricked investors with incentives in the form of ‘referral interest’ and 60% monthly interest included Bhatia.

CID crime authorities said the organization issued in about to 2.80 croreBitconnect coins and suddenly closed the its operations in January 2018and became untraceable.Investors lost money as they could no longer trade or encash their BCC coins or tokens.

Narwade said “The cost of a BitConnect coin when the company shut down, on January 16, 2018, was USD 362. The accused, DivyeshDarji held events and seminars in India and other countries promising high interest (daily interest rate of 1 percent )on investment in BitConnect coins".

This is a similar organization in which Shailesh Bhatt invested Rs 1.80 crore. To recoup the cash, he had abducted DhavalMavani and PiyushSavaliya of Bitconnect. He had blackmailed 11,000 litecoins, Rs 14.50 crore money and 2,019 bitcoins. A case was then registered with the Surat zone CID. We recovered 8kg of gold and 169 bitcoins from the accused," included a CID official. Later, a senior CID crime official said, Bhatt was abducted by Surat LCB inspector Anant Patel and eight other policemen. "Amreli SP Jagdish Patel was arrested for the plotting the abduction. Ex-BJP MLA NalinKotadiya is likewise an absconding accused in the case”.

Based on the complaint by one AshwinLimbasiya of Surat, CID crime authorities said they registered a body of evidence against the administrators of Bitconnect and promoters under the IPC sections of the Gujarat Protection of Investors Deposit Act, The Prize Chit Money Circulation Scheme Banning Act and section for cheating.

It’s time for the fraudulent companies to beware of their activities. No such company goes unseen before the Law.

And investors need to take care of their hard-earned money and validate regarding the Organization before making an investment.
