The idea of being drenched in showers of money left a real estate agent high and dry, when he lost over R1.2 crore for this. One of the conmen who cheated him in the name of 'paison ki baarish,' has been arrested, while the police is looking for his two aides. He has cheated more than 70 people of Rs 40 crore in past five years. He was nabbed in Bandra by the Crime Branch after a tip-off on Monday.

Venu Pillai, a real estate agent, met the accused, Nishwit Kumar Shetty, 36, a resident of Mira Road, in 2018. Pillai lodged a complaint after the arrest. Shetty told him he could become rich in just three months by performing a tantrik puja. Akbar Pathan, DCP Detection said, "The accused asked him to invest R10 lakh for the tantrik puja and money would rain on him."
