Pune, 8th June 2026: A major alleged racket involving illegal moneylending, financial fraud, property grabbing, and systematic harassment has come under the scanner after eight residents jointly lodged a complaint with the Pune Police Commissioner.
The complainants, including Bholasingh Arora, Vijaykumar Sethi, and Ganpat Magar, had earlier approached the Chief Minister’s Office seeking intervention.
Taking serious note of the allegations, the Chief Minister’s Office directed the Pune Police Commissioner to examine the matter and take appropriate action.
The complainants met Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar on June 5 and submitted documents and evidence related to the case. According to the complaint, the accused allegedly targeted families facing financial difficulties and trapped them through illegal lending arrangements.
The victims were then reportedly subjected to pressure tactics aimed at extracting money and gaining control over their properties.
The complainants further alleged that those who resisted were threatened with criminal cases, including complaints under the Atrocities Act, and were subjected to prolonged mental harassment through the misuse of legal processes.
Preliminary documents submitted to the police suggest that the accused may have followed a similar pattern while dealing with multiple families. The complainants have demanded strict action against those responsible and said they would continue pursuing the case until justice is delivered.
After hearing the affected families, Commissioner Amitesh Kumar directed the formation of a special police team to investigate the allegations. The team will record statements from all complainants and conduct a detailed examination of the financial and property transactions involved.
“Citizens who have faced fraud, coercion, or harassment should come forward and contact the Police Commissioner’s Office without fear,” said Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar.
