The Crime Branch on Saturday arrested Sunita Rodrigues, ex-wife of main accused Myron, in the multi-crore investment scam that saw hundreds of investors duped.
Crime Branch SP Rahul Gupta said she was arrested after the investigation revealed she was actively involved in the fraudulent activities and played a crucial role in the scam.
Despite being summoned for questioning, Sunita had been evasive and non-cooperative, prompting the police to take action.
She has been booked under sections 406 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating) read with 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code and sections 3 & 5 of GPID (Protection of Interest of Depositors) Act.

Myron, currently hiding in London and other accused continue to be on the run.
“The investigation has revealed that the main accused and his wife (Myron and Deepali Parab) had cheated investors by promising them high returns on their investments. The accused had collected crores of rupees from innocent investors, which they had then misappropriated for their personal gain,” the officer said.
