Based on a complaint lodged by a resident of Tarnaka, the Cyber Crime Police registered a case and took up investigation. The complainant said he was cheated after investing Rs 1.6 lakh in an investment app called LOXAM. On investigation, it was found that the money of the complainant was deposited in the bank account of Indus Ind Bank in the name of Xindai Technologies Pvt Ltd.

The bank account was opened by Virender Singh in the name of Xindai Technologies Pvt Ltd. When Virender Singh was arrested and interrogated in Pune, he revealed that he opened a bank account in the name of Xindai Technologies Pvt Ltd on the orders of one Jack (Chinese) and gave the internet banking user name and password of the bank account to Jack.

During investigation, it came to light that the bank account of Betench Networks Pvt Ltd, and Xindai Technologies Pvt Ltd share the same phone number. One Sanjay Kumar of Delhi opened the account of Betench on the instructions of Lec alias Li Zhounjau and gave it to Pei and Huan Zhuan in China. Similarly, he opened 15 other bank accounts and sent them to one Chu Chun-yu of Taiwan, who is temporarily residing in Mumbai and was arrested yesterday in Mumbai. Chu Chun-yu sends account details, User ID, password and SIM cards to other countries. Sanjay Yadav and Virender Rathor received Rs 1.2 lakh commission per account which was arranged by Lec Li Zhounjau.

Imran along with others used these two bank accounts for Investment Frauds.

A large amount of money from the 38 accounts of Xindai Technologies Pvt Ltd went to Ranjan Money Corp and KDS Forext Pvt Ltd. Navneet Kaushik inturn sends the money received in the bank account to the Forex exchanges run in the name of International Tours and Travels. He converts the money received in rupees to US S$ in cash and gives it to Sahil and Sunny in US dollars. The money changers and Forex Exchanges are licensed by RBI.
