A major financial fraud has come to light in Hyderabad, where a businessman was allegedly duped of more than ₹50 crore under the pretext of acquiring rare jewellery linked to the Nizam era. The case has raised serious concerns about high value scams using historical claims to gain trust.
According to the complaint, the victim, Rajesh Agarwal, was approached several years ago with an attractive investment proposal. The accused claimed that five highly valuable gold jewellery boxes from the Nizam period were held under government custody and could be released with financial assistance.
The individuals named in the case include Sukesh Gupta, associated with MBS Jewellers, and his associate Zakir Usman. They reportedly convinced the businessman that supporting the process financially would yield substantial profits once the jewellery was secured and sold.
Believing the claims, the businessman entered into a formal agreement with the accused and began transferring funds in phases starting from 2016. Over time, the total amount handed over reached ₹50.80 crore, making it one of the significant fraud cases reported in the city in recent times.
As years passed without any progress or delivery of the promised jewellery, suspicion began to grow. When confronted, the accused allegedly delayed responses and refused to return the money, prompting the victim to approach the authorities.
Based on the complaint, the Central Crime Station police in Hyderabad have registered a case against the accused and initiated a detailed investigation. Officials are now examining whether any such jewellery actually exists in government custody or if the Nizam reference was used purely as a tool for deception.
Investigators are also looking into the authenticity of documents and agreements presented during the deal, as well as tracking the flow of funds. The case highlights how elaborate narratives and historical references are being used in financial frauds to exploit trust among investors.
Authorities have assured that strict action will be taken after verifying all aspects of the case, while advising the public to exercise caution before entering into high value investment deals based on unverifiable claims.
