Pune Jeweller Who Staged Robbery After Multi-Crore Bhishi Scam Still Unarrested; MLA Tapkir Demands Regulation In Assembly

Over a month after he went absconding, Vishnu Dahiwal, owner of Shree Jewellers, who allegedly cheated over 2,000 investors, still remains unarrested.

Khadakwasla MLA Bhimrao Tapkir on July 1 raised a question regarding the incident and asked whether the government is planning to come up with regulation on such schemes, which are there in almost every jeweller shop in the state.

Answering his question, Maharashtra Minister of State, Home, Yogesh Kadam asked him to submit the details of the case and assured that directions will be issued in this regard.

Dahiwal, owner of Shree Jewellers, has absconded after allegedly cheating over 2,000 investors, leaving families devastated, their trust broken, and their hopes destroyed. For them, this is far more than financial loss — it’s the collapse of a lifetime of sacrifice.

Residents of Dhayari are facing a tough time as the owner of Shree Jewellers, Vishnu Sakharam Dahiwal, cheated investors by not returning their investments running into crores of rupees, along with interest. The investors claim that under the Bhisi investment schemes, they would invest money every month, and since May 24, the shop owner has been on the run.

The investors are having a tough time because the police are yet to register an FIR, and they are questioning police negligence, as the authorities had already registered a case where Dahiwal had staged a fake robbery on May 21. The investors question why the police released him, knowing he had staged a fake robbery, and why they did not verify his actions.
