Hyderabad's Nallakunta police on Thursday registered a case against a charity foundation, We Are With You, for reportedly luring people saying that they would pay half of their children’s school fees, if they invested the other half with them. They alleged that the foundation, which started in 2019 from Adikmet, cheated them and ran away with Rs 40 lakh worth of their hard-earned money

Inspector Mogilicharla Ravi of Nallakunta police station said several victims reached the police station and described that the foundation offered to help those affected by the pandemic. They even paid the fees of some, but ran away with the money of approximately 70 people.

When the people tried to confront the foundation authorities about the payment of fees, they gave cheques that bounced, the victims added.

Inspector Ravi said the police are probing into the matter.
