Mittal registered his company on September 7, 2010 in Delhi but did not his business. At the time of his arrest, he had 100 employees working for him at his office in Noida.
“During initial questioning, Mittal has revealed that he owns many cars and flats in many realty firms. But our investigation is underway to verify how many (more) flats or villas Mittal or his partners has in Noida, Greater Noida or any other city,” said an IT department official.
Investigators said it took Mittal more than five years to become what he is today — a conman for officials and a Robinhood for his investors.
Back in 2010, Mittal, a resident of Ghaziabad, was just another BTech computer science student, about to graduate from his institute in Greater Noida, when he floated his company.
His first office was his hostel room in Knowledge Park area where he worked as a software developer. However, in the first three years, Mittal, had a mediocre performance as an entrepreneur with a total income of Rs 4 lakh.
