Couple in Kanpur scams elderly people of ₹35 crore promising age reversal
Kanpur: In a shocking case from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, a couple has allegedly defrauded numerous elderly individuals out of ₹35 crore by claiming to possess an "Israel-made time machine" that could reverse aging. Rajeev Kumar Dubey and his wife, Rashmi Dubey, established a therapy center called Revival World in the Kidwai Nagar area, asserting that a machine from Israel could transform a 60-year-old into a 25-year-old.
Renu Singh, one of the victims, filed a police complaint alleging that she was cheated out of ₹10.75 lakh and stated that hundreds of others were also deceived, leading to a total loss of around ₹35 crore. Following her complaint, authorities have registered a case against the couple under section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for cheating and have launched a search for them. There are suspicions that the Dubeys may have fled the country to evade capture
According to police reports, the Dubeys promoted the concept of "oxygen therapy," claiming it could rejuvenate the elderly, who they said were aging prematurely due to polluted air. Senior police official Anjali Vishwakarma stated that the couple offered packages costing ₹6,000 for ten sessions and ₹90,000 for a three-year membership.
