Bengaluru Man Claims He Bought Rs 50-Crore Dog, Probe Agency Goes Sniffing

The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday visited the house of a man here to conduct a potential search for violation of foreign exchange rules after he claimed to have imported a ₹50 crore dog.

The assertion, however, was found to be fake.

Sources told PTI that the officials of the federal probe agency found that the man "had no means" to purchase such a costly canine, and such reports were "just created" for possible social media engagement.

The man, according to reports, had claimed that he had imported the "world's most expensive" dog — a cross-breed of a Caucasian Shepherd and Wolf. The claim gained prominence on social media, inviting the ED's glare.
