India Today
Mohit Goel is news again. The man behind the infamous Freedom 251 phone and the company called Ringing Bells has been now arrested allegedly for defrauding a few people.
Mohit Goel, the man behind the Freedom 251 phone, has been arrested from Greater Noida, allegedly because of his role in a fraud worth Rs 45 Lakhs. Goel earlier formed a company called Ringing Bells private limited and had offered a smartphone at the promotional price of Rs 251. The phone was called Freedom 251. However, the smartphones were not delivered to most of the consumers who had booked them or purchased them. That lead to Goel's arrest in 2017 for committing fraud. In 2018 he was held by police allegedly in an extortion case. This time, Goel has been arrested for an alleged dry fruit business fraud. According to a report in the Times of India, Indirapuram-based Vikas Mittal filed an FIR against Goel and five others alleging fraud of Rs 41 lakh. “He had cheated Vikas Mittal of Rs 41 lakh and when the victim confronted him, he was threatened. On August 19, the accused tried to run Mittal over by a car. Mittal was injured and on the same day, he lodged a police complaint against Goel,” Sanjay Pandey, SHO, Indirapuram told TOI.
