Govinda, Chunky Pandey, Shakti Kapoor and Manoj Tiwari named in FIR in investment scam: Report
The FIR was lodged on the orders of a local court in Jamshedpur after investors moved the judiciary claiming that they were cheated by the firm which had promised high returns on investments. The case was registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code related to cheating and criminal conspiracy.
According to the complaint of an investor, who said he had invested more than Rs 30 lakh in Maxizone Touch Pvt Ltd, the company had assured returns up to 15 per cent monthly interest. When neither the interest nor the principal amount was returned as promised, the investor moved court, which led to police action.
The FIR names four actors, among others, alleging that they were involved in promoting the company’s investment scheme and played a role in attracting investors through advertisements. The complaint claims that his influence helped the company attract more people into the scheme.
Earlier, the directors of Maxizone Touch Pvt Ltd – Chandra Bhushan Singh and his wife, Priyanka Singh – were arrested by the Jamshedpur Police in September 2025 as part of a broader investigation into the company’s operations. Investigators have said that the company allegedly ran a fraudulent multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme and collected huge amounts of unauthorized deposits from investors.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had also conducted searches related to alleged investment and cryptocurrency fraud involving the company, which revealed that the Singh couple had been absconding for nearly three years before their arrest.
