₹49,000 Cr Scam: A Costly Lesson in Blind Investing

In one of India’s biggest financial frauds, Gurnam Singh, a former director of Pearls Agro-Tech (PACL), was arrested for allegedly masterminding a massive ₹49,000 crore land investment scam. Over 5 crore investors were lured with promises of land ownership and high returns — but all they received was paper and false hope.
Operating across 10 states, PACL disguised itself as a land investment company while functioning as a Ponzi scheme. It collected thousands of crores, especially from middle and lower-income investors, by exploiting financial ignorance and regulatory loopholes.
