Nagpur: The tainted Secretary of Nirmal Ujjwal Credit Society Ltd Pramod Manmode continues to hog headlines for one fraud or another. In a recent case, Manmode and others were booked by Nandanvan Police, for duping the residents of Nirmal Nagari condominium.

The accused have been identified as Pramod Natthuji Manmode, and other office-bearers of the Society. The complaint was lodged by Prafulla Namdeo Karpe (48), a resident of House No. 29, Row House, Nirmal Nagari.

According to police, Manmode and others floated a plan of developing a housing scheme on 21 acres and lured the members of the credit society for investment. However, Manmode had not constructed the housing scheme on 21 acres and kept four acre land reserved. Of this four acre land, Manmode sold two acre land to Prashant Mule, Satish Ramteke and Amol Patil at Rs 7.51 crore. Manmode duped the investors by selling the land to other persons.

An offence under Sections 420, 409, 406 and 120 (b) of Indian Penal Code (IPC) was registered by Nandanvan Police.

It is pertinent to recall that Pramod Manmode and Branch Manager Sachin Bomble, the masterminds in the alleged Rs 3.5 crore Nirmal Urban Cooperative Bank fraud, were chargesheeted by Nandanvan police in December last year. The Nagpur police confirmed Manmode’s involvement in duping Mukesh Barbate and Kunal Yelne in its 43-page chargesheet submitted before the court of Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC), according to a report in local English daily.

Nagpur: A bullion trader of Nagpur has been defrauded to the tune of Rs 4 crore by two companies from Kolkata on the pretext of making gold available at a cheap price. On the orders of the court, the Bajaj Nagar Police in Nagpur have registered a case of cheating under various sections.

According to media reports, the concerned accused companies from Kolkata took full amount from Nagpur bullion trader as an advance but did not provide the gold for almost six years. If today’s market rates for gold are compared, the city trader loses much more.

A case has been registered in this regard against the directors and officials of both the companies, identified as JK Trexim Pvt Ltd and Banka Bullions Pvt Ltd. The accused include Gopalkrishna Banka, Raghav Banka, Rahul Banka, Rajkishore Banka, Anilkumar Banka and Yogeshkumar Banka, residents of Burra Bazar, Kolkata.

According to reports, a case was registered on the complaint of Ashutosh Natwar Mundada (38), a resident of Ramdaspeth. Ashutosh deals in petroleum, transport and bullion. In October 2016, Gopal Banka contacted Ashutosh’s father and told him that he has to come to Nagpur for business related to bullion trade. Ashutosh met Gopal in a hotel in Laxminagar. Banka told that he has 2 firms in Kolkata which do the business of buying and selling gold. Gold trading is done on a large scale and many merchants of Nagpur city also deal with them. Gold will be made available from Kolkata at a cheap price, which can be sold in Nagpur to earn huge profits, but money will have to be paid in advance. Mundada agreed with the deal considering the price of gold at that time and sent Rs 4.31 crore to both the companies.

Reports further said that between November 12 and December 2, 2016, Ashutosh transferred Rs 4.31 crore through RTGS from his firm’s accounts to the firms of the accused. All the gold was supposed to be delivered to Nagpur but the Banka family sent only 1 kg of gold to Nagpur, which cost Rs 30 lakh. The accused started avoiding sending the rest of the gold. When the goods were not received even after many days, Ashutosh complained about the fraud to the Bajaj Nagar police. The police did not register the case. Finally, Ashutosh knocked on the door of the court. On the orders of the court, the Bajaj Nagar police have registered a case under various sections including cheating and criminal conspiracy.

Nagpur: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Nagpur Police has not been able to trace the absconding Joshi brothers who grabbed the maximum amount in the Navodaya Bank scam. The fraudsters have been absconding for the past three years and the EoW is yet to get any clue about the accused persons.

Reports said, Vijay Kailash Joshi, Mukesh Kailash Joshi, Rakesh Kailash Joshi and Vikesh Kailash Joshi are accused in this case. Vikesh Joshi got bail in the Navodaya Bank scam, while the other brothers are still absconding. Many businessmen were duped of crores of rupees by the fraudsters.

Rahul Jain (38), a resident of Itwari, is one of the victims in the fraud. He was duped by Vikesh after getting conditional bail. Rahul was introduced to Vikesh through a friend. Vikesh befriended Jain. Vikesh had told Rahul that he would sell his house located in Poonapur complex of Pardi at a cheap rate as he needed money. He sold the house to Rahul for Rs 15 lakh, but after taking the money, he started giving excuses. Later, saying that the rate of the property has increased, he did the sale deed at Rs 30 lakh. Soon after, Rahul learnt that Vikesh had already sold the house to two persons. The same house was also mortgaged in PNB Bank, Manish Nagar.

On his complaint, the Pardi police had registered a case of cheating against Vikesh on December 24, 2021. Vikesh and his sister-in-law Komal Joshi also took possession of Rahul’s car as well. Giving a reason for a medical emergency, they asked Rahul for his car and took it away. The car was sold by them to a scrap dealer. Lakadganj police had registered a case against Vikesh and Komal on May 30, last year under the provisions of the Indian Penal Code.

Reports further said, a warrant was issued against Vikesh in a case registered at Tehsil police station. But he is continuously cheating people. Despite grabbing a maximum amount in the Navodaya Bank scam, the police are yet to nab the accused.
