Officials with the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) believe that Mumbai-based investment consultant and chartered accountant Amber Dalal, accused of defrauding crores from several people on the pretext of investment, operated his Ponzi scheme so cunningly that even his employees were unaware of his methods. Meanwhile, a special court on Monday extended Dalal’s police custody till April 8. EOW officials have recorded the statements of six employees of Dalal’s Ritz Consultancy Services who told the police that they were made to do only clerical jobs and were not to interfere in his transactions. Of the six employees, five were given laptops. The EOW has seized these laptops which have details of investors, banking information, and the money they invested. On Monday, the EOW produced Dalal before the special court under the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) Act and sought extension of his police custody so that he could be questioned regarding the details collected from the laptops. The defence lawyer, however, argued that Dalal’s custody was not required to analyse the data. …

Suicide due to mental trauma after a break-up does not make for a case of abetment, a court here observed while acquitting a woman accused of abetting her former boyfriend’s death.

The judge, in his order, said that to constitute abetment under 306 …
