Pune: The economic offences wing of the Pune police has arrested four persons on charges of duping investors of Bhaichand Hirachand Raisoni Multistate Cooperative Credit Society Limited. The four suspects were taken into custody from Jalgaon and produced in the court. They have been remanded in police custody till December 6.
The arrested suspects have been identified as Wani alias Sujit Subhash Bawiskar (42), Dharam Kishor Sakla (40), Mahaveer Manikchand Jain (37) and Vivek Devidas Thackeray (45), all residents of Jalgaon. Ranjana Khanderao Ghorpade (65), a resident of Bhosale Nagar, has filed a complaint in this regard. Police have earlier booked Jitendra Kandare, Maheshwari, Prakash Wani, Kunal Shah, Sunil Zanwar and Yogesh Sakla in this case.
According to police, the suspects had created a fake website in the name of BHR and transferred the properties of BHR in low rates to a firm owned by Zanwar. Along with these properties the suspects also created fake receipts in the name of investors and created false records about their full repayment.
Complainant Ranjana and her sister had invested Rs 16.90 lakh. Suspect Vivek Thackeray took Rs 18600 from her on a false promise of returning her invested money.
The BHR Multistate Cooperative Credit Society Directors have so far 81 cases registered against them. When police raided the house of Kandare, they found more than 100 bogus stamps in the name of different government officers.
Public Prosecutor Advocate Rajesh Kavedia argued for police custody of the four suspects in order to carry out further investigations.
