Report: Omprakash
Ranchi: The news of fraud related to Bhojpuri superstar Nirahua came to light from Jharkhand. A Ranchi company made Nirahua invest lakhs of rupees by offering him quick profit. Now a company named Algo Trading got ruined. Apart from them, many famous faces have become victims of this cheating game. Vaidya Santosh Kumar lodged an FIR in the matter at Namkum police station. Police started investigating the case.
According to the FIR, this game of fraud was played through an algo trading company. In the beginning everything appeared normal and reliable. Investors were also given profits on time, due to which people’s trust deepened. With the help of this trust, the company gradually trapped lakhs of rupees in its net. Vaidya Santosh Kumar told the police that in February 2025 he had received an unknown call. The women who called revealed their names as Akanksha Gupta and Mahi. He introduced himself as a representative of an investment company and lured huge profits through algo trading. Santosh Kumar also invested after talking.
Nirahua had invested 12 lakhs
The method of cheating was very clever. Using the name and identity of Vaidya Santosh Kumar, the company prepared many artists and some leaders of Bhojpuri cinema for investment. Gradually, large amounts of money kept going into the company’s account. When investors tried to withdraw their money after the initial profits, communication started getting lost and eventually the company disappeared completely. According to the data given in the FIR, Vaidya Santosh Kumar invested around Rs 2.60 lakh. Dr. Ambika Singh invested Rs 80 thousand, Neeraj Soni invested Rs 3 lakh. Bhojpuri superstar and former MP Dinesh Lal Yadav alias Nirahua invested about Rs 12.77 lakh in this company. Whereas actor Sushil Singh lost Rs 12 lakh. Actress Aanchal Dubey had invested Rs 1 lakh, Harikesh had invested Rs 2.5 lakh and Neha Pandey had also invested Rs 2.5 lakh in this company.

By the time everyone realized the fraud, it was too late. Ultimately Vaidya Santosh Kumar lodged a complaint at Namkum police station, after which the police started investigating the matter. Police say that it seems to be a case of organized fraud and many people are suspected to be involved in it.
