Celebrity hairstylist Jawed Habib, his son Anos Habib, and associate Saiful face 32 criminal complaints in Uttar Pradesh over allegations of defrauding investors through a Bitcoin scheme run by Follicle Global Company. Authorities say they collected ₹5-7 lakh per investor, promising 50-70% returns, but delivered none after two years, with preliminary fraud estimates at ₹5-7 crore. A lookout notice has been issued to prevent the accused from leaving the country. Habib’s lawyer cited heart issues and recent bereavement, submitting medical proof and requesting leniency, while police insist he must appear in person. Investigations remain ongoing.
