Lawsuits

Mahesh Waghdkar, a resident of Bhenda village in Nevasa taluka of Ahmednagar district files an FIR against some people who claim to be employees of the Mantralaya in Mumbai. Waghadkar has accused him of promising him a government job in the Mantralaya (Secretariat). The accused demanded Rs 5 lakh along with an advance of Rs 2 lakh for the job and also took the money from Waghadkar at Rahuri bus stand on September 4. Although Waghadkar paid the money and the accused promised to give him a job, Waghadkar became suspicious and approached the police on September 9. The police arrested the accused Dattatraya Kshirsagar, Akash Shinde, Omkar Tarte on the same day and confirmed that they were not employees of the Mantralaya.
