Kharghar police hunt man for cheating lawyer of ₹34L
Kharghar police are on the lookout for an accused, a former private bank employee, for cheating several people.
In the case registered with Kharghar police, the complainant, Deepak Gaikwad, a lawyer by profession, was cheated of ₹34 lakh. According to the complaint filed by Gaikwad, the accused identified as Ramakant Parida had promised him to give good returns if he invested ₹34 lakh.

In October 2020, the complainant paid the money to the accused. “In April 2021, I asked for my money back but he started giving me vague answers. After I started to find more about him, I learnt that he has two PAN cards in two different names,” Gaikwad added.
