“As the Kerala police registered several cases against them, they shifted to Delhi, and floated a bogus firm called PVR Consultancy Services Pvt, and pooled up money on the pretext of 4 to 8 per cent commission on the investments made through their firm. The accused used to pay commissions for a few months promptly for the investment made by the people in order to make the people trust them. This allows people who trust the company to invest large sums of money online in counterfeit companies through PVR Consultancy,” the CP said and added that the coupled deceived one Bathula Sairam of Srinivas colony in the same manner through a mediator named Gogula Srinivas (accused 1 in the case) of Hanamkonda, to the tune of Rs 1.17 crore.
