How 'Israel-made time machine' scam to turn people young made Rs 35 crore vanish

A couple in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur conned dozens of elderly people out of ₹35 crore by promising to restore their youth with an ‘Israel-made time machine’. Rajeev Kumar Dubey and his wife, Rashmi Dubey, ran the massive scam out of their ‘therapy centre’ where they claimed a machine from Israel would transform a 60-year-old into a 25-year-old. Located in Kanpur's Kidwai Nagar area, Revival World served as the epicentre of the scam.
