A complaint in the matter was lodged by Sandip Sudhir Jadhav (40), a construction business owner living in Virbhadranagar in Baner.

The total investments by Jadhav and other witnesses is 17,70,75,000, according to their complaint.

The money of the investors was allegedly used for buying properties in India and abroad.

The complainant told the police that the lawyer sent legal notices to the investors who started asking for their money back. The notice allegedly claimed that the contents of the notice will be treated as last words of the accused in case of his death.
