Incredible Israeli 'Time Machine' Scam:

Lured by promises of rejuvenation, an estimated ₹35 crore has allegedly been swindled by a couple who claimed to sell miraculous 'Israeli machines.' However, a startling revelation emerged when police inspected the fleeing duo's bank accounts; only ₹600 were found across six accounts. Currently, efforts are underway to determine the whereabouts of the defrauded money.

Residents of Kanpur, Rajeev and Rashmi Dubey, allegedly spearheaded the 'Revival World' initiative and convinced locals of their possession of a revolutionary Israeli machine capable of transforming a 65-year-old into a youthful 25-year-old through its therapy. Thousands invested their hard-earned money, only to discover the machine did not function as promised, with the couple vanishing with ₹35 crore.

Seventeen days ago, a complaint was lodged by Renu Singh Chandel at the Swaroop Nagar police station against the couple. The FIR detailed that the so-called Israeli machine could allegedly regenerate senior citizens through five sessions of oxygen therapy. Yet, the Dubey's claims were discredited, leaving numerous individuals out of pocket.

Only ₹600 in Six Bank Accounts

Upon delving into the case, the police, led by Kidwai Nagar's Bahadur Singh alongside a six-member SIT, scrutinized the Dubey's bank accounts. They uncovered six accounts, split between State Bank and IndusInd Bank, with a total paltry sum of ₹600. One account contained merely ₹70, falling below the minimum balance requirement. This suggests the money may be hidden elsewhere.

Official Statement

Bahadur Singh, in charge of Kidwai Nagar police, stated that over several years, transactions amounting to ₹76 lakh have passed through these accounts. Allegedly embezzling crores, authorities are tracing the transferred funds while also locating the fugitive couple.

In this baffling tale of deception, one thing remains clear: the purported Israeli technology, a country known for innovation and efficiency, was merely a shadowy facade in this elaborate scam.
