Satvik Investment firm goes bust; promoter Amol Dhake flees city

17 investors who collectively lost Rs. 34 lakh approaches Ambazari police
Dhake, wife and three others booked for cheating 

By Dheeraj Fartode
Yet another investment company has gone bust. Ambazari police have booked Chairman of Satvik Group of Investment Amol Dhake and five Directors, including his wife, for cheating investors to the tune of Rs 34 lakh. Incidentally, Dhake had already wound-up his establishment in city and disposed of properties and fled the city, the police stated. 

Cops are currently clueless about location of Dhake and have launched manhunt to get nab him. He left city around six months ago when his investment went awry. Acting on the complaint by Sanjay Prakash Kashikar (50), a resident of house of 808 (a), near Model Mill Road, Karnalbag, the police have booked Chairman Amol Dhake and his wife,  Mahendra Kohad, Atul Dikshit, Sandip Mahajan and Mohan Joshi.

Police Inspector of Ambazari police station Balasaheb Khade told ‘The Hitavada’ that the complaint has been registered on the basis of Kashikar’s application. Kashikar is a driver and does odd jobs in Government officer. We have received 16 complaints of frauds against Dhake till date and registered them after proper investigations,” he said.

As per the police’s knowledge, Dhake had accounts at Samruddhi Co-operative Bank and Indian Overseas Bank. The police have served notices to both banks under section 91 of Cr.Pc. “We are waiting for reply of banks to examine transactions by Satvik Group,” PI Khade further said.

Sources informed that maximum investors in the company were close relatives and friends of Amol Dhake. As the balance sheet of the company is now empty, investors used to meet Dhake in his office to get back their money. Dhake had shielded himself from rage of investors by assuring them higher return by selling his properties. Though he sold his entire property in city and vanished without trace leaving the investors in soup.

It can be mentioned that Dhake floated prospective investors by promising astronomical returns on fanciful schemes. Hundreds of investors fell prey to ponzy schemes of Satvik Group. Sources informed that hundreds of persons have parked their money in Satvik Group in lure of high returns. 

After Wasankar, Shreesurya, Raviraj and many other investment fraudster companies, Satvik Group allegedly defaulted on payments and thus left the investors again high and dry. Ambazari police have registered the case under sections 420 and 406 of Indian Penal Code read with section 3 of  Maharashtra Protection Of Interest Of Depositors (MPID) Act. Further investigations are on.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script also ha

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is
