Mr. Dutta was falsely accused of participating in a cheating scam involving a rare material known as “Rice Puller.” The complainant alleged that she was introduced to Partho, who claimed to possess the “Rice Puller,” a product with supposed magical powers and significant commercial value in the international market for research purposes.
The complainant contacted Accused 1, the CEO of the UK-based company Vintage Group, which dealt with high-value antiques, “Rice Puller,” and other atomic materials. Accused 1 informed the complainant about the product and arranged for her to meet with him and Accused 2 to discuss the deal. Mr. Dutta was invited to visit their Salt Lake office, where the complainant and her friends were shown a demonstration of the product’s purported power.
During the demonstration, Partho demanded an advance payment of Rs. 10 crore, claiming the product was too powerful and required joint custody. The complainant managed to arrange some cash and made several payments:
Later, Partho informed the complainant that testing could not proceed due to an accident during material handling. The complainant and her associate Robin met with Mr. Dutta and Accused 2, who demanded an additional Rs. 15 lakh to continue the process. The complainant complied and the date for further work was set for August 31, 2021.
Following a police raid that confiscated the material, the company requested an additional Rs. 40 lakh for the project. Mr. Dutta suggested using unused chemicals and suits from a previous project, but Accused 2 claimed their validity had expired. Subsequently, the complainant paid another Rs. 36 lakh, scheduling work for September 14, 2021. She also handed over Rs. 24.5 lakh for anti-radiation suits and kits.
Eventually, the complainant discovered that the material had no radiation power and was rendered useless due to rain. She demanded a refund of Rs. 89 lakh, but it was not returned, leading her to file an FIR.
The allegations against Mr. Dutta were baseless and speculative. There was no direct involvement or evidence linking him to the cheating scam, which primarily involved Accused 2. Mr. Dutta was arrested on unfounded accusations.
Mr. Dutta’s wife contacted Advocate Rajesh Kshetry to secure her husband’s bail. Mr. Kshetry strategically handled the case, focusing on the lack of direct evidence against Mr. Dutta and highlighting his non-involvement in the scam.

Mr. Kshetry presented a strong case for bail, arguing that Mr. Dutta’s arrest was based on baseless allegations. The defense underscored Mr. Dutta’s clean record and the lack of evidence against him.
