Delhi Police are investigating a big scam where a couple cheated many vendors. Ratnakar Upadhyay and Anita Upadhyay tricked people by offering fake government tenders. They took money and goods worth 50–100 crore rupees from hundreds of vendors across India.
How the Couple Ran the Scam
The couple made a fake NGO called Rashtriya Gramin Saksharta Mission. They said it was part of the education ministry. They made fake letters and a website to trick people. They took school items like uniforms and books from vendors. They also asked for money to give out tenders. But they never paid the vendors or gave real tenders. The couple even made a bank account for their fake NGO.
Police Investigation and Arrests
Police first caught the couple in Chhattisgarh in May 2025. Now Delhi Police are looking into more cases. They found the couple cheated people in many states. In one case, they took uniforms worth 1.5 crore rupees. In another, they got 25 lakh rupees for school items. Police have searched their offices and taken some papers.
