According to the complaint, the couple founded Satyug Gold Private Limited. The company had offered a particular gold scheme under which, anyone who intended to invest had to pay entirely for gold at a discounted rate when they applied to the scheme. After a specific time, they would get an agreed quantity of gold on its maturity date. However, the person who filed the complaint never got gold on the maturity date.
