The Heera Gold Ponzi scam busted by the Hyderabad city police is growing bigger, with police complaints being filed in other states as well as in the United Arab Emirates.
After the arrest of Heera Group founder Nowhera Shaik in Hyderabad, victims in Mumbai too have come out in the open and lodged complaints with police stations like JJ Marg, Vakola, Trombay police, among others. The local police has directed the complaints to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai police for investigation. “We have received multiple cheating complaints against Heera Group. As the case is about cheating depositors, we have directed the complainants to EOW,” JJ Marg police station senior inspector Shirish Gaikwad told TOI over the phone from Mumbai.

Heera Group CEO Nowhera Shaik has been charged with cheating several depositors by promising 35% annual returns on deposits through gold trading claiming it is a ‘halal’ business.
Advocate Shane Ilahi Turky, in his complaint to Vakola police station on behalf of his client Iftakar Ahmed Mohammed Yousuf, alleged, “Yousuf was approached by one of the representatives of Nowhera Shaik of Heera Group in 2015 and offered lucrative returns. After the money was deposited, the company failed to return the money or the returns promised on the investment. Another victim, Rubeen Sayeed Chaman Ali, invested Rs 5 lakh and failed to get returns. One Idris Adhafque invested Rs 27 lakh and was duped. At least 50 victims have come forward so far. Mumbai police are yet to register any case against her.”
Responding to the charges, Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors Act (MPID) unit in-charge senior inspector B P Shelke told TOI, “We will take up a preliminary enquiry into the case and then register an FIR.”
In Hyderabad, Central Crime Station sleuths filed a petition in court seeking police custody of the accused, Nowhera Shaik.
