My mother, like many others, trusted a local couple, the Goyals, to manage a small savings group. She started with around 80-100 members, each contributing ₹400 per month. They used to give handwritten cards for monthly entries, but no formal agreements were made. However, the Goyals cheated everyone, including my mother, who is now in judicial custody after investors filed a case against her.
We have proof in the form of those cards, but we can’t take action against the Goyals because we lack evidence. They even have four blank cheques my mother gave them in good faith initially, and they’re threatening to file cases against her.
The Goyals, who run an unregistered finance business, have cheated several others, including eight women before my mother, and are well-connected politically. They have assets worth crores. We’re in a difficult position and need strong action. Can you advise us on how to proceed? Also, what grounds can we use to seek bail for my mother?

Your mother’s situation is unfortunate, but the lack of formal agreements and evidence makes it challenging to take action against the Goyals. You should immediately consult a lawyer to explore options like filing a complaint with the police and Economic Offences Wing, highlighting the Goyals’ unregistered business and fraudulent practices. Regarding bail, arguing that your mother is a victim of a fraud and the Goyals are politically connected could strengthen her case.
