App fraud case: Kolkata cops arrest Amir Khan from Ghaziabad

In a major breakthrough, the Kolkata Police managed to arrest Amir Khan, a businessman who had duped people through a gaming application, from Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh Friday night.

Two weeks back on September 10, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had raided his home in connection with an alleged mobile app fraud case. During the raid, Khan managed to flee his home but ED recovered more than Rs 17 crore in cash. Eight cash counting machines were brought to count the recovered money.

Amir Khan, the younger son of Naser Ahmed Khan, who runs a transport business, had launched a mobile gaming application called E-Nuggets, which initially rewarded investors with a commission and allowed hassle-free withdrawal of the balance in their wallets, the ED sleuths said.
