--Victims move EOW for justice: Several persons have moved the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Odisha Crime Branch alleging that they were duped of crores of rupees by a New-Delhi based motivational speaker.
The accused motivational speaker identified as Nitin Mohan has allegedly duped several people of around Rs 2 crore in Odisha and outside the State on false promises. The accused has been identified as Nitin Mohan.
The matter came to the fore when as many as 20 victims from Odisha and other parts of the country approached the EOW to register their complaints against the accused on Wednesday.
As per the allegations by the victims, Nitin duped them via online by providing them courses on mental healing and false promises to solve their various problems like financial constraints, health, family and business-related issues and other problems.
“I first came across Nitin via YouTube and contacted him subsequently. He assured me to help me overcome my financial constraint within a year. He advised me to take a course with a fee of Rs 50,000. After completing the course, he told me to take another course by paying Rs 2 lakh more. Again after the completion of the course, he advised him to take another course by paying Rs 6 lakh so that all my financial issues would be solved immediately. However, after paying Rs 6 lakh and completing the course, nothing was solved. When I told him about my grievance, he blocked me,” said a victim G Venkateswar Dora.
“Then I threatened to expose him and asked him to return my money, but he refused. However, when I repeatedly told him about his fraudulent means, he eventually called me to Delhi on Ganesh Puja and returned my money. Then, I contacted all the victims and we all lodged a complaint against him with the EOW”, said Dora.
