Businessman cheated of Rs 5.50 lakh

AHMEDABAD: A 39-year-old South Bopal resident, who runs a solar energy business in Ambawadi, filed a cheating complaint against a man from Ghatkopar in Mumbai and his aide on Friday. He claimed they duped him of Rs 5.50 lakh after promising good returns on investment in the clean energy sector.

Sudhir Kheni said in his FIR that accused, Prashant Surve, worked in the marketing section at his firm in 2019. After he left the job, on July 25, 2019, Surve called Kheni and told him that Parag Shukla runs a solar panel business and could provide him huge returns on investment.

Kheni spoke to Shukla and transferred Rs 5.51 lakh into his account but neither Shukla nor Surve offered any returns. When he asked for the money, they allegedly threatened him.
