Dabo club Nagpur Efforts to reopen the controversial Dabo Club, which was shut down for 45 days following the murder of two young men, have triggered strong anger and fear among the families of the victims. The incident took place in the early hours of December 26 last year during a Christmas party at Dabo Club. Pranav Ranavare (27) was allegedly killed after a minor dispute. His friend, Gaurav Karda (34), was badly injured in the same incident and later died during treatment. The Sonegaon police arrested six accused - Soumya Deshmukh, Mehul alias Monu Rahate, Rajiv Chawla, Abhay Jhamtani, Gappu Sharma and Tushar Nankani. All the accused are currently lodged in jail. The club is owned by Directors Devyani Vijay Wadettiwar, Karan Vikram Thakkar and Mohd Hamza Rayeen. It may be mentioned here that Dabo Club has a long history of complaints related to harassment and assaults. Police sources said repeated warnings were ignored by the management. During the investigation, it was found...
Prashant Borkar, a private agent who had swindled Rs. 2.70 crore from Gondegaon branch of UCO, suffered a set back after the adjudicating authority under Prohibition of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) upheld order of Enforcement Directorate (ED) to attach his properties. Borkar had committed the fraud in connivace with top officials of the branch.
Sources informed that the fraud came to fore during internal audit of the bank. An offence under Sections 420 and 471 and 120 (b) of Indian Penal Code (IPC) was registered at Kanhan Police Station in year 2012 and the then Bank Manager Anand Pardikar (49) and Assistant Manager Shrikant Manohar Joshi (36) were also charged for the crime along with Borkar, a private agent and a resident of Kalamna. The police had managed to recover Rs 1.30 crore from the accused during preliminary phase of investigation.
Simultaneously, ED had registered Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in year 2016 and undertook probe. After investigating the case, ED attached four acre land (worth Rs 75 lakh) registered in the name of Borkar in Parseoni tehsil. The ED came to the conclusion that the accused persons have committed an offence of money laundering under Section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and accordingly attached the properties under section 5(1) of the Act, sources informed.
The case, as per the sources, is that Borkar had forged documents of over 120 farmers and applied for Kisan Credit Card (KCC) in the Gondegaon Branch of UCO Branch. Manager Pardikar and Assistant Manger Joshi had approved the applications and disbursed the KCCs under the initiative of Union Government to ensure that farmers of the country have access to credit at an affordable rate.
It was learnt that Borkar himself took the KCCs in his possession and withdrew Rs 2.70 crore in the name of farmers. Pardikar and Joshi got around 7 per cent to 8 per cent of the total amount as commission while rest of the amount was siphoned off by Borkar.
Borkar continuously duping banks
Registration of offences does not matter for fraudster Prashant Borkar as he is a serial accused in duping banks even after registration of offences against him. Borkar had committed two more frauds worth crores of rupees after registration of the offences. Recently, he was booked by Economic Offences Wing (EoW) for duping IDBI Bank to the tune of Rs 1.34 crore. He forged papers and received loan of Rs 1.34 crore from Mankapur Branch of IDBI in the name of 16 people in year 2013.
