Following raids by the deputy registrar’s office, a case has been filed at the Adgaon Police Station in Nashik against a private moneylender. In response to a complaint from a female borrower, the team found many property sales deeds and thousands of rupees worth of illicit activities.
Mangesh Vaishnav, the head clerk of the deputy registrar’s office (cooperatives), submitted a complaint naming Vitthal Kachru Rikame, a resident of Vinchur Gawli, Madsangvi, Nashik, as the suspected moneylender. Regarding Rikame’s unlawful moneylending practices, the deputy registrar’s office has received multiple complaints. After the deputy registrar’s office received a complaint about the woman’s alleged high interest demands, they moved quickly to take appropriate action.
Documents comprising the complainant woman’s car papers, a ₹2.5 lakh check, receipts for an illicit property sale, a deposit agreement, and lending receipts were taken during the raid at the suspect’s home. With suspicions of illegal moneylending, the deputy registrar’s office formally complained to the police.
Investigations are still being conducted further.
