A complaint has been registered at the Satpur Police Station in Nashik against eight individuals, including the grandson of former Union Minister Raosaheb Danve. The case involves allegations of a ₹10 crore fraud related to payment for partnership in company shares. Interestingly, the complainant is himself a BJP office bearer.
According to the information received, BJP official and entrepreneur Kailas Ahire owns a company. In his complaint, he stated that, on the recommendation of former Union Minister Raosaheb Danve, his grandson Shivam Patil was given partnership in the company’s shares.
A total of 14 per cent of the company’s shares were allotted, with the total transaction value fixed at ₹25 crore. However, Ahire claims he received only ₹15 crore, while the remaining ₹10 crore was never paid, amounting to a clear case of fraud. Hence, he filed a complaint at the Satpur Police Station against Shivam Patil and seven others.
Ahire further alleged, “In 2018, Raosaheb Danve’s associate Girish Narayan Pawar and others deceived me. When I met Raosaheb Danve in Mumbai, he told me, ‘I am a minister — I can help you get government contracts. I’ll increase your company’s turnover to ₹200–500 crore. Make my grandson your business partner.’ I thought such a senior person was making a genuine offer, and it could help generate more employment in my company, so I trusted him and agreed."
"Danve later visited my factory and asked about the share value. We agreed on selling 14% shares for ₹25 crore. Danve instructed that two cheques of ₹50 lakh each be given to me initially. When I asked about the remaining amount, he said, ‘Why are you worrying? I’ll take care of it.’ Since he was a big man, I believed him. But later, I realized I had been cheated,” said Kailas Ahire, Entrepreneur, Nashik.
