License and profit hoax
This entire case has been registered on the written complaint of Raj Kumar Pathak, Director of RBDPL Company. According to complainant Raj Kumar Pathak, in August 2024, persons named Ajay Kumar, Kumar Sambhav and Vrinda Sambhav had contacted him. These accused made Pathak an attractive offer to become the main distributor of Ranchi area for the sale and distribution of a well-known beer brand.
trapped in a hoax like this
To deceive the victim, the accused claimed that their company operates beer business on a large scale. He assured that his company itself will provide all the necessary government licenses, registrations and certificates related to this business. Falling for this trap, Pathak’s company accepted the proposal and a formal business agreement was signed between the two parties at their office in Ranchi.
one crore rupees embezzled
Immediately after the agreement, the accused took a total of Rs 1 crore in installments from Raj Kumar Pathak in the name of business expansion and stock advance. After embezzling the money, whenever Pathak asked to start the supply of beer, the accused kept hedging. After months of misleading, a letter was sent to RBDPL under the signature of accused Kumar Sambhav in which it was written that they were terminating this business agreement and the entire amount taken would be returned soon.
how many checks given
After a lot of pressure, the accused handed over a total of 10 checks of Rs 10 lakh each in the name of ELPL company to the victim. When the complainant deposited the first of these checks in the bank for clearance on March 17, it bounced because the accused had instructed the bank to stop payment. After this, when Pathak tried to contact the accused, they stopped talking completely and switched off their phones. At present, Argora police is collecting documentary evidence of financial transactions of the case.
