MANGALURU: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached assets worth Rs 2.85 crore belonging to Roshan Saldanha, the prime accused in a Rs 200 crore cheating case. Saldanha, a resident of Mangaluru, had allegedly cheated high-net-worth individuals and businessmen by promising to arrange loans worth crores of rupees.

The ED’s Mangalore sub-zonal office attached Saldanha’s house, bank accounts, and other assets, citing an FIR registered against him, his wife Daphne Neethu, and others. Saldanha had posed as a wealthy individual, promising loans to businessmen and collecting advance payments of Rs 5-10 crore, cheating them of over Rs 200 crore.

Saldhana was arrested by Mangaluru police on July 17, following complaints from two businessmen who had fallen victim to his schemes.
