“Delhi Police summoned the listed influencers over an alleged ₹500 crore HIBOX investment scam promising up to 90% returns.”

“The police action was real, but the slide blurs notices, summons, and guilt.”
Police registered an FIR after complaints about HIBOX, which allegedly promised 1% to 5% daily returns, or up to 90% monthly. Police said ten influencers were issued notices; Elvish Yadav and Bharti Singh were among five summoned in the initial action. A Delhi High Court order records the FIR, the alleged promised returns, and more than 500 complaints.
The slide says all of the named people were summoned. Contemporary reporting says ten influencers received notices, while five were summoned initially; it does not establish that every person shown was summoned then. It also presents 3% daily as if it were the stated offer, while police described an alleged range of 1% to 5% daily.
Conflating being named, receiving a notice, and being summoned materially increases the apparent police scrutiny of each person. None of those steps establishes that an influencer knowingly participated in fraud.
Why Clear says this
The core account of an alleged HIBOX fraud and police action against some promoters holds up. But the presentation overstates the scope of summonses and does not clearly distinguish investigative contact from proof of wrongdoing. The criminal case was still unresolved in the latest court material located.
Evidence
- Delhi Police said ten influencers were issued notices, but only five were initially summoned; Elvish Yadav and Bharti Singh were among those five.
- The Delhi High Court recorded the HIBOX FIR and allegations of promised 1% daily profits and up to 90% monthly interest, alongside more than 500 complaints.
- The High Court record says the chargesheet had been filed but the investigation was still ongoing as of December 12, 2025.
