Mumbai Police Book Malad Resident Nevada Putman in Alleged ₹35 Lakh Fraud

The complaint says he took money first for legal help, then for a footwear venture.

Overview

  • Bangur Nagar police registered the FIR on Thursday naming Nevada Putman, a Malad resident with prior cases, officials said.
  • The complainant, a 37-year-old model, reports paying about ₹15 lakh for help pursuing a sexual-assault case against her former husband.
  • She also alleges investing roughly ₹20 lakh in Putman’s purported footwear business between 2024 and July 2025 without receiving returns.
  • After she sought repayment, she told police he threatened her and refused to return the funds, which led her to file the complaint.
