A five per cent return on the investment amount of ₹1.10 lakh was given to the victim after the accused persuaded him to invest in a firm called Abinfinta Trade & advisory Ptv Ltd, Singapore, according to the FIR. The victim was able to get ₹11 lakh from the accused.

Once he gained his trust, Mithaiwala requested ₹20 lakh from the victim with the promise of a larger return, but he never gave him the money.
