Groom to be duped off ₹5 lakh
It has come to light that two relatives of the bride cheated the groom of five lakh rupees by pretending to secure a government job.
According to information provided by the police, Rohit, son of Lalita Mathias Ekka (Residence: Lalita Niwas, Ayodhyanagari, Amritdham), was getting married and the relatives of the bride had come to visit the plaintiff Ekka's house. At that time, the accused Vijay Baburao Kakade and Samuel Vijay Kakade (both residing at Zopadi Canteen, Near Makasare Gymnasium, Sawedi, Dist. Ahmednagar), along with the girl's relatives, visited the plaintiff Ekka's house. During this visit, Kakade introduced himself to the prospective groom, Rohit.
Knowing that Rohit was a well-educated unemployed individual, the Kakade duo misled him by promising to help him secure a job at MSEDCL or the Postal services. On December 6, 2019, at around 2:30 pm, the Kakade duo coerced Rohit Ekka into transferring three lakh rupees from his account and two lakh rupees from the bank account of Lalita Ekka's husband into the bank account of accused Vijay Kakade. However, even after several days, Rohit did not receive the promised job. When Ekka inquired about the matter, the accused Kakade provided vague answers and refused to return the money.
Realising that they had been financially cheated, Ekka filed a fraud complaint against both Vijay Kakade and Samuel Kakade at the Panchavati Police Station. Police Sub-Inspector Deore is currently conducting further investigation into the matter.
