Roy said that he knew Supti Mukherjee and her husband Sudip Mukherjee for a long time and invested in their company after being persuaded by them. He said that Supti had promised her hefty returns on the investments but it did not happen.
Roy said that he along with his wife started investing in Mukherjees’ financial institute in 2017 and received interest on the investment as promised till 2018. He alleged that from 2019, he was facing problems as the company stopped giving the interest and even when it was paid it was through cheques that bounced.
