Ajay Harinath Singh, the alleged fraudulent investor who is on the run after duping innocent residents of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh for over 100 crore (1 crore = USD $160k), used the power of social media and internet for duping residents. Ajay had made an elaborate Wikipedia profile wherein he projected himself to be a kitchen cabinet man of powerful politicians of both Congress and BJP. He also posted pictures on social networking website where he was seen touching the feet of a senior SAD politician. He developed various links of Darwain Platform Group of Companies and made it appear as a dependable brand. Beside, Ajay had floated an insurance company that has been blacklisted by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA). According to the police, Ajay developed multiple website of his companies to win the confidence of people who were sceptical about investing in his business. Police sources said that after Ajay Harinath Singh fled from Uttarakhand, the local Dalit leader from the ruling SAD government gave him shelter and introduced him as a successful businessman to senior SAD leader. Besides, the Dalit leader arranged Ajay’s meeting with the industrialists of the city. Inderjit Singh alias Navy, a city resident whose mobile number figured on the pamphlets of Darwain Platform Group of Companies, has denied having any links with Ajay. While speaking to The Tribune Inderjit Singh admitted that he was introduced to Ajay during a function and the latter had told him about the investment opportunities in his company. “The hefty return and profit sharing in business made me sceptical and I decided not to invest in his company. I was shocked to learn that my number and email address was given on the pamphlets. I have nothing to to with Ajay and his Darwin group. Once I will return to the city I will lodge a formal complaint with the police,” said Inderjit Singh. The Uttarakhand police had on Monday raided various places, including a five star hotel, to arrest Ajay Harinath Singh of the Darwin Platform Group, who was booked on the complaint of Girish Yadav, a businessman from Rudrapur. Ajay’s political outfit in the name of “All-India National Democratic Congress Party” also turned out to be bogus.
