For the second time in less than a month, RCF police in Chembur have arrested Rashtriya Bhim Sena Party Chief RR Pandian and his manager in a fraudulent case. He was detained earlier this month for defrauding roughly 39 investors out of Rs 1.11 crore through the 'Apna Ghar' scheme. During the investigation of two cases, the police seized 26 properties and eight bank accounts he held.
The arrest of Pandian and his accomplice Suresh Rathod, the bank's manager, was confirmed by Balasaheb Ghavate, Senior police inspector, RCF police station. "They were both detained on March 28. They appeared in court and were remanded in police custody until April 1st "He went on to say that they had taken his custody and remanded him from Arthur Road jail, where they had been arrested earlier this month.
According to the police, the two were arrested this time for defrauding others under the guise of providing loans. A total of Rs 6, 50,700 was defrauded from eight victims. In August 2021, the claimant, Sanjay Patil, a Panvel resident, alleges he learned about 'The Blue People Co-op credit society bank' through a friend.
In the Sanpada office, he approached them to seek a Rs 45 lakh loan. They did, however, request that he obtain an income tax return certificate as well as other documentation. In addition, he was asked to buy shares from the bank for Rs 2,65,700, which would be refunded in a year.
He was also required to produce five guarantors, each of whom would be paid Rs 1,000. He was requested to visit Suresh Rathod, the manager, at the head office in Vashi Naka, Chembur to sanction the loan. Following the verification of the documents, Rathod requested two further guarantees. When Patil discovered the deception, he demanded that the money be returned.
The other victims, according to the authorities, were also defrauded in the same way. However, in each case, the amount was different. On March 11, a case was filed at RCF police station under sections 409, 420, 406, and 34 of the Indian penal code, as well as the Maharashtra Protection of Depositors' Interests (in Financial Establishments) Act, 1999, in response to Patil's and other victims' complaints.
The officer went on to say that he was facing more than 21 cases at RCF, Govandi, Nehru Nagar, Chembur, Vashi, Chunabhatti and the Mumbai Economic Offence Wing, among other places. People from throughout the state have been urged to contact the RCF police if they believe they have been defrauded by the accused. According to the police, Pandian and Rathod used various methods to defraud people in various schemes while living a lavish lifestyle.
