Roshan D'Souza

The duo are said to be the directors of Vruksha Business Solutions on KS Rao Road. The third director of the company is absconding.

As per the complaint lodged at Bunder police station, the firm promised high interest rates to customers, but failed to pay back as promised. The agents too were left in the lurch. The total amount collected is believed to be in crores and hundreds of people are said to be affected.

On Friday September 26, the Bunder police managed to nab the accused from BC Road in Bantwal. The arrested have been remanded in judicial custody and further investigations are on.

The customers and agents of the firm had time and again protested demanding their money back, and each time they were given new assurances. They had even threatened mass suicide.

    Roshan, wanted to be a big man soon and very rich very soon...
    So, Guys..for everything there's a time..It will happen as per God's will..So, people don't get carried away with theses kind of fast money policies.. save money and invest on land/funds by yourselves.. don't depend on anyone for your financial needs.. It's not only Roshan's mistake but it's all the investor's greediness that led to all this..
    it's a lesson..

    Put 100 questions before you give your money to investors. Safe, please keep your money in the bank as FIXED DEPOSIT. Please dont get carried away by anyone's talks, they will surely carry away your money for ever. So now dont worry, be happy. Gone is gone.

    Every minute one sucker is born.

    Cheating has been happening in the past, happening in the present and will also happen in the future.

    No use blaming Roshan, or his accomnplices.... he must be having a good laugh...

    Our job is to keep our eyes and ears open and not get carried with the promises of mighty returns.

    But being born a sucker, we fall into the trap, just like that rat !! and then we cry fowl and want those who fooled to be punished. First and foremost, why get into this mess !!!

    no use crying now. you will never get your money back. its gone. not even Sharadha has given back and big money too... they will all be in jail for sometime but your money is gone forever.

    be careful for the future. but again, the sucker will fall into another trap.

    and so goes on history.

    In Investments of high returns both parties are responsible to receiver and the giver. The receiver to earn easy money knowing he will pay higher rate of interest out of investors own money in 1st year and then loot and the giver to earn higher rate of interest without realising that the principal is 100% at stake. There have been several instances of these kind of frauds and still we believe in it, like we voters though knowing that the leader is not good, still we vote. It is not our eyes that is blind it is our thinking for greed, selfishness, arrogance and ego has made us blind.

    People should start doubting, whoever is promising un-realistic interest rates or profits are ONLY TRYING TO FOOL US.
    Peoples greed and craving for easy money and idle life is reason to believe such people.
    Famous quotes should always be remembered are:
    i. Don't fool anyone nor let anyone fool you.
    ii. Don't take undue advantage of anyone NOR let anyone take undue advantage of you.

    Many have taken inspiration from SOME of our bad politicians.
