Entrepreneur dupes to the tune of Rs23.72 lakh

A so-called entrepreneur, identified as Prashik Bansod, has duped several persons to the tune of Rs23.72 lakh in a span of four months between December and April this year. The matter was brought to fore by Devidas Mendhe who was duped by Rs3.17 lakh.

Police said that Mendhe had approached Bansod at his office at Ramdaspeth in December last year anticipating to start a business. Bansod had offered him a business in candle making but asked the victim to create a contract before the work begins. Bansod also ensured that Mendhe paid Rs20,000 as security amount. Later, Bansod further took substantial amount from Mendhe as cost towards raw material and for offering him franchise.

After some time, Bansod started avoiding Mendhe and several like him who had invested in the business. Mendhe and others later approached Sitabuldi police with a complaint against Bansod after he became untraceable.
