FAQ :
Abhishek Gupta is a 31-year-old chartered accountant who prepared the audit report for Torres Jewellery. He claims to be the whistleblower in the alleged fraud case.
Gupta alleges he uncovered massive financial irregularities, faced physical intimidation, had his phone confiscated, and was offered Rs 5 crore to suppress the fraud. He also claims his complaint to the local police station was not accepted.
Gupta has approached the Bombay High Court seeking police protection and has requested the transfer of the investigation to the CID or the formation of a Special Investigation Team.
The Bombay High Court heard the plea and granted Gupta's lawyer permission to include the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police as a party to the petition. The court will resume hearing the matter on Monday.
The case came to light when investors lodged an FIR on January 6, 2025, at Shivaji Park police station, accusing the company of defrauding them of crores of rupees.
