Shubman Gill, Mohit Sharma, and Rahul Tewatia Among 5 Cricketers Trapped in Bhupendrasinh Jhala’s BZ Scam; Sonu Sood Under Investigation

The CEO of BZ, Bhupendrasinh Jhala, who had been enticing people with promises of doubling their investments, has now been linked to a shocking scam involving not only retired officials and teachers but also some of the country’s well-known cricketers. 

During an investigation by the CID Crime unit into the list of investors, names of cricketers like Shubman Gill, Rahul Tewatia, Mohit Sharma, and two others emerged. These cricketers had invested amounts ranging from ₹10 lakh to ₹1 crore through White’s Entry.

Furthermore, after the names of these famous personalities surfaced, the CID Crime unit also investigated the possibility of actor Sonu Sood’s involvement, as he had attended one of Bhupendrasinh Jhala’s events.

When CID’s head, Dr. S. Rajkumar Pandya, was asked about the names of cricketers like Shubman Gill, Rahul Tewatia, Mohit Sharma, and Sai Sundar being on the investor list, he avoided giving a direct response. 

However, other senior officers from the CID Crime unit confirmed the involvement of the five cricketers and stated that they had been victims of the scam. According to sources, the cricketers had invested between ₹10 lakh to ₹1 crore. On the other hand, no evidence of Sonu Sood’s investment in the scheme was found.

Around 14,000 Victims Affected: More to Come Forward Soon

The police have stated that the time to pay the interest for the month of November has passed. In the next two to three days, as BZ Company fails to pay the promised interest to investors, even more victims are expected to come forward. 

According to the information gathered by the police from various locations, it has been revealed that around 14,000 people across the country had invested in Bhupendrasinh Jhala’s BZ Finance Company. Many of these individuals are now expected to step forward.

Leak of Raids on BZ: Investigation Underway

Sources indicate that before the raids took place, Bhupendrasinh Jhala had fled with his passport. This led to speculation that the police’s plans to conduct the raids had been leaked, allowing Bhupendrasinh to escape. 

As a result, the head of the CID summoned several officers to investigate how the leak occurred and how the accused managed to flee. Sources suggest that a covert investigation has been initiated to look into the matter further.
