  • Mumbai Man Arrested For Duping Chennai Businessman Of Rs 2.82 Crore In Franchise Scam: Reports |

    MUMBAI: A 32-year-old man named Pratik Radhakrishnan was arrested on Monday for duping a Chennai-based businessman, M S Rajendran, out of Rs 2.82 crore. Radhakrishnan, who had been previously employed as an assistant manager at a nationalized bank, orchestrated the scam by promising Rajendran the franchise rights for a reputable clothing brand, reported Times of India.

    According to multiple reports, the incident dates back to 2019 when Pratik Radhakrishnan forged official documents, including the logo, seal, and signatures of high-level executives from the clothing company, to create a fake agreement. Over several instalments, Rajendran transferred a total of Rs 2.82 crore to Radhakrishnan, believing he would secure the franchise.

    However, after two years of waiting, when Rajendran still had not received the promised licence, he demanded his money back. Instead of returning the amount, Pratik Radhakrishnan allegedly threatened the businessman, prompting Rajendran to file a complaint with the central crime branch’s entrustment document fraud (EDF) wing, said reports. Acting on the complaint, the EDF wing launched an investigation and arrested Radhakrishnan in Mumbai.

    Pratik Radhakrishnan was remanded into judicial custody by a city court on Monday, said the TOI report. The police revealed that the former bank employee had meticulously planned the scam, using forged documents to convince Rajendran of the authenticity of the deal. His arrest has shed light on the elaborate fraud and serves as a warning to others about such scams. The police are continuing their investigation into whether the accused has been involved in similar fraudulent activities elsewhere.

    New scheme launched for the fourth time in Hazaribagh

  • MUDA Scam Complainant Alleges Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, Others Trying To Destroy Evidence |

    BENGALURU: Pradeep Kumar S P, one of the complainants in the MUDA case, on Thursday alleged that the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and others were trying to destroy the evidence in the ‘scam’ and requested the Enforcement Directorate to initiate action against them. Lokayukta police on September 27 registered an FIR against Siddaramaiah, his wife Parvathi B M, brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy, Devaraju — from whom Mallikarjuna Swamy purchased land and gifted it to her — and others, following a Special Court order on September 25.

    The order of the Special Court came a day after the High Court upheld the sanction granted by the Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot to conduct an investigation against Siddaramaiah. The ED has also registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), equivalent to an FIR by police, against the Chief Minister over the alleged irregularities in allotment of 14 sites to his wife by the MUDA (Mysuru Urban Development Authority).

    The MUDA on Tuesday decided to take back the 14 plots allotted to Siddaramaiah’s wife, following her decision to relinquish their ownership and possession. The MUDA has ordered to cancel the sale deed of these plots, its Commissioner A N Raghunandan had said. In a letter to ED, Kumar maintained that the status of the property cannot be disturbed without the Court permission.

    “I respectfully submit that the Accused should be arrested immediately, failing which, the entire case evidence may be destroyed,” he said in his letter. “Lodge a complaint against the Chief Minister and others for destruction of evidence etc.” He said the proceeds of crime generated by the commission of the scheduled offences during the pendency of investigation is to be maintained and retained in the manner they were at the time of registration of ECIR.

    This would enable the authorities to continue the investigation and take such steps as required and provided under the Act, Kumar said. “It appears in public domain that Parvathi has offered to return the proceeds of crime to the MUDA,” Kumar said, adding that based on such a decision, it has been reported that the commissioner of MUDA has changed the records in respect of the 14 sites, which is a subject matter of investigation.

    “This is a serious interference in the investigation and an attempt to dissipate the proceeds of crime so as to render the investigation infructuous and misdirect the same,” he said and requested ED’s intervention in the matter. He requested ED to initiate action against the MUDA Commissioner for “altering the proceeds of crime”, inquire whether the office of the Chief Minister or the Chief Minister himself exerted pressure on him and other authorities and lodge a complaint against Siddaramaiah and others for “destruction of evidence.”
