The Amboli police have revealed that Parmeet Arora,a former banker arrested on charges of duping Bollywood producer Parag Sanghvi and wife Bunny of around Rs 60 lakh posing as an investment consultant,has only a sum of Rs 1,552 in her bank accounts. Police said they had not recovered the money duped by Arora yet.

“During her interrogation,we secured the details of her two bank accounts. One of her bank accounts has just Rs 52 while the other has a sum of Rs 1,500. Arora claimed she had given the money to her former husband Vikarm Singh to win back his affection,” said a police officer pleading anonymity.

“Singh and Arora got divorced in 2009 and Singh now stays with his family in Aurangabad. Arora claims she had given the money to Singh as she wanted him back in her life. We have contacted Singh’s family in Aurangabad,but they refuted her claims. Nevertheless,we have contacted Vikram Singh and have told him to come to Mumbai to help us with the probe. He would reach Mumbai by tomorrow and we will record his statement too,” said police inspector Machinder Bodke from the Amboli police station.
