A Bhandup-based firm is under fire for allegedly cheating a textile company of a whopping ₹2.54 crore. The police have booked five officers of the firm for their involvement in the scam, which involved taking raw materials from the textile company and providing bounced cheques in return.
The complainant, Balan Nadar, who works for VSM Weavess India Pvt Ltd, stated that the accused company, Viyanka Impex Private Ltd, approached them with a large order in May 2023. The first order was successfully completed, with Viyanka paying ₹1.37 crore. However, the second order worth ₹1.26 crore was never paid for, despite multiple attempts by Nadar to recover the money.
Nadar, along with two other complainants, Nirajkumar Vishwakarma and Lakshmi Jai Rajdev, approached the Bhandup police after discovering that Viyanka Impex’s office was closed. The FIR named Gaurav Rathi, Devang Shah, Natasha Dsouza, Khusbu Parmar, and Swati Padwal as the accused in the case.
The victims are now seeking justice and hoping for a resolution to the matter. The police are investigating the case further to bring the culprits to justice and ensure that the cheated amount is recovered. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
