"In 2019 as well, he had harmed himself using a knife and made cuts on his hand and posted on social media. He intended to gain sympathy and avoid paying the money to investors," assistant commissioner of police (Crime Branch), Ajay Landge said.

In his initial plan too, Jain had planned to get his partner Aamir Khanzada, 42, killed, and injure himself to gain sympathy from the investors who would then stop demanding their money back. Khanzada's body was found on August 28.
