Bengaluru: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Wednesday seized 5880 rods of fake gold weighing 303 kg. The SIT is investigating the multi-crore IMA Group Ponzi scam. The bogus gold was hidden under the water in a swimming pool on the sixth floor of a building here by the group's owner, Mohammed Mansoor Khan. According to the SIT, Mansoor used to attract people to invest in his company by showing the same fake gold.

Mansoor had hidden the fake gold in a swimming pool to use later in another fraud when he fled to Dubai after his Ponzi scheme was busted. Mansoor was arrested at The Delhi airport last month on his way back from Dubai by a team of Enforcement Directorate (ED). The ED had registered a case of money laundering against the IMA Group and Mansoor on the basis of the report, which had revealed that Mansoor had gone underground and nearly 40,000 investors lost billions of rupees.
