Mumbai, June 19: The Economic Offences Wing of Mumbai police is likely to arrest Purushottam Chavan, the husband of Indian Police Service Rashmi Karandikar, in a cheating case involving Rs 7.42 crore.
EOW have secured a production warrant for Chavan from the court and likely to take him into custody from the jail. Chavan was previously arrested by EOW last month in a cheating case involving Rs 24.78 crore.
Chavan is accused of defrauding a Surat-based businessman and others out of Rs 7.42 crore.
Chavan’s wife IPS Karandikar has allegedly accepted over Rs 2.5 crore in her account from him and allegedly diverted the same to invest in share trading. Around 10 days ago, the EOW also wrote to the Maharashtra DGP office seeking to know if Karandikar had informed the department before making investment in share trading.
EOW added that we are awaiting a report from the DG office. In case we find share transactions which are not permitted as per the conduct rule, then we will write for departmental action against Karandikar
