|Close on the heels of the alleged City Limouzine fraud, another multi-crore investment racket by a car-rental firm has come to |
|light. And the similarities are striking: to begin with, the new company’s name is Aim Limouzines India Pvt Ltd. |
| |
|According to a case lodged with the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police, like City Limouzines, Aim Limouzines, too,|

| |
|The company, promoted by a certain Pramod Raut, told its investors that the money would be used to buy cars that would be |
|transferred to them after a few years. During this period, it promised monthly returns between the range of Rs 6,000 to 12,000. |

|Recently though, the company - which commenced operations in 2007 - stopped payments to some investors. The EOW learnt of the |
|fraud through its intelligence
