Another cheating case against shooting academy coach after woman alleges fraud and intimidation
Indore: Annapurna police on Friday registered another case of cheating against Mohsin Khan , coach and owner of a shooting academy, who is already facing six charges of gang rape, rape, molestation, and cheating involving female and male students at his academy and two other accomplices. "On the complaint of the woman, a case under section 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), 406 (criminal breach of trust), 294 (obscene acts and words), and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC was registered against Mohsin Khan," said ACP Shivendu Joshi. According to her statement, she first came into contact with Mohsin in June 2020 through a telecalling job offer related to the shooting academy. Mohsin reportedly promised her a flourishing career in shooting, along with setting up her own licenced shooting range. Gaining her trust, he allegedly persuaded her to hand over a total of Rs 4 lakh in cash on two occasions in March 2021. Additionally, she claimed to have paid a credit card bill of Rs 2.5 lakh for Mohsin and covered the salaries of two female employees at his academy for eight months, amounting to Rs 1.68 lakh. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo She alleged that when she showed concern about the large sums of money being spent, Mohsin introduced her to a woman named Sadhana Johri, who claimed to perform occult rituals that could help her attract wealth. She stated that Sadhana showed her a video of a woman covered in currency notes as part of a supposed ritual, which convinced her of its authenticity. She agreed to participate in a ritual where she was taken to an isolated farmhouse by Mohsin and Sadhana. There, she was instructed to dress like a bride and was told she would need to please a 'genie' to receive blessings in the form of money. She said she was then anointed with perfumed oils and exposed to strange, intimidating rituals led by self-proclaimed spiritual men dressed as 'babas.' She claimed to have been subjected to a virginity test before being told by one of the men that she was not suitable for the ritual. Following this, the complainant confronted Mohsin, who then tried to divert her attention by introducing her to Faizan Khan, described as a coach and gym trainer, and encouraged her to develop a close relationship with him. When she refused, Mohsin allegedly threatened her, demanded Rs 13 lakh more, and publicly humiliated her in front of academy students and parents. She further claimed that Mohsin, along with Sadhana, was involved in illegal trade of banned wildlife species and that she had seen snakes, owls, and turtles at their location. She also alleged that Mohsin engaged in inappropriate behaviour with female students at his academy. Although initially hesitant to approach the police due to fear and concern for her father's health, she eventually decided to come forward after reading recent news reports involving Mohsin Khan.

Another cheating case against shooting academy coach
Indore: Annapurna police on Wednesday registered one more FIR of cheating against Mohsin Khan, owner and coach of a shooting academy, who is already facing charges of gang rape, rape, molestation, forced religious conversion and cheating involving students at his academy. "On complaint of father of a male student at his academy, a case under section 316(2) of the BNS for criminal breach of trust and under 318(4) for cheating and dishonesty has been registered against Mohsin Khan," ACP Shivendu Joshi said. A man from Indore approached Annapurna police with a complaint against Mohsin, accusing him of cheating under the guise of training his son for national-level shooting competitions. The man's son, a Class 9 student, was recommended for training by the school's sports teacher, who claimed that Mohsin could help the boy win medals at the national level. Trusting the teacher's suggestion, the man visited Mohsin's academy, where he was promised expert coaching and future success for his child.

"He accepted that unable to recover financially, he borrowed money from multiple individuals but failed to repay them. This financial strain, coupled with pressure from the property owner to vacate the premises led him to plan the closure of the shooting academy. He was arrested before he could flee," said Meena.

He has been remanded in police custody by the court until June 1.

The matter came to light on Tuesday when members of a right-wing organisation accompanied the girl to Annapurna police station, where she lodged a formal complaint against Mohsin, a resident of Silver Oaks Colony. In her statement to the police, the student revealed she received rifle training at the academy from 2021 until Nov 2023. She used to train daily from noon to 6 pm under the supervision of Mohsin. She alleged Mohsin began touching her inappropriately under the pretext of helping her hold the rifle. When she resisted and confronted him, he threatened her by saying that if she wanted to continue training, she would have to follow his instructions, warning her that he could ruin her career if she disobeyed. The student stopped attending the academy out of fear and remained silent for a while. Eventually, when her mother questioned her about why she stopped going, she confided in her about the incident. Due to concerns about social stigma, she initially refrained from filing a police report. Later, the girl learned from others that Mohsin continued to engage in inappropriate behaviour with students. She informed her relatives, and with the support of right-wing activists, she approached the police to file a complaint.

Asda plots £400m store sell-off to raise cash
Asda is planning to sell about 20 supermarket stores for £400m to generate more cash for the business. The supermarket chain is looking to offload the stores, which are located across the country, and lease them back for around 20 years. It has appointed property adviser Eastdil Secured to seek out buyers, according to property-focused publication Green Street News. Sale-and-leaseback deals are popular among major supermarkets as a means of raising capital to shore up their balance sheets. Sainsbury's sold and leased back some of its supermarkets for £500m in 2022, while Morrisons completed a £220m deal with asset manager ICG during the same year. In Asda's case, the retailer has been saddled with a hefty £3.8bn debt pile after a £7bn takeover in 2021 by private equity firm TDR Capital and brothers Mohsin and Zuber Issa. Zuber stepped down as co-chief executive in June, selling his stake in the retailer to TDR. Mohsin followed suit in stepping down from his leadership role in September, but kept his shares. Allan Leighton, a former chief executive of Asda, returned to the business in November after a 24-year absence, to help turn its fortunes around. His strategy has included launching a fresh supermarket price war, which involves funding price cuts, improving the availability of products and refreshing tired stores. Analysts have estimated that the company's plans will cost close to £900m over the next three years. Leighton has warned that Asda's profits will suffer a 'material hit' this year to fund that investment drive, along with cuts to jobs and bonuses. Despite Asda's debt pressures, Mr Leighton appears to be relaxed about the issue. He said in March: 'People always ask me about the balance sheet, but I'm not over-concerned about it. 'Most of our [debt] maturity dates have been pushed well out [into the future]. The only time I'd ever be concerned about [it is] if I felt that was restricting us investing in the business.' He also continues to search for a new chief executive for the business. An Asda spokesman said: 'Sale-and-leasebacks have been a feature of the retail industry for many years. 'While maintaining a strong freehold base remains central to Asda's property strategy, we will consider suitable opportunities to unlock value from our property portfolio as part of our material programme of investment into the business.'
