According to investigators, the incident dates back to 2022, when Karan approached Abhineet, claiming to be an event director with deep connections in the entertainment industry, including ties to major production houses.Enticed by the opportunity to join Bigg Boss, one of India's most-watched television shows, Abhineet transferred ₹10 lakh to Singh, who assured him of securing a spot on the show. However, when the official contestant list for the season was released, Gupta's name was missing.Upon questioning, Karan reportedly told Dr that he would be entering later as a wildcard contestant. Months passed without any development, and Karan allegedly began avoiding contact, offering repeated false assurances before eventually going completely incommunicado. His phone was later found to be switched off, and all attempts to trace him failed.Abhineet later filed a formal complaint, and a case under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code (cheating) has been registered against Karan Singh. According to a report by Aaj Tak, Karan is currently absconding, and police have launched a manhunt. Authorities are also investigating whether he may have pulled similar scams by targeting others seeking fame in the entertainment industry.Dr Abhineet has also filed a separate complaint at Oshiwara Police Station in Mumbai, suggesting that the scam may have had a wider geographical reach.
