Ashesh Kumar and Shivangi Mehta
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police has frozen 11 bank accounts containing 148 crore and seized 5 properties of Ashesh Mehta, the proprietor of Bliss Consultants, and his wife Shivangi Mehta. According to sources, the properties, which are situated in Kandivli, Goregaon and Santacruz, are worth approximately R16 crore in total. Funds belonging to the couple worth Rs 170 crore were frozen earlier due to the efforts of the Mumbai Police.
The couple has been at large after a drug case was filed against them in Madhya Pradesh in the first week of June. Days later, a cheating case was registered against them at the Amboli police station after former MLA Krishna Hegde approached the police. The investigation into the case was eventually transferred to the EOW and the police slapped additional sections of the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors Act (MPID), 2018, as several details emerged during the course of their investigation.
