FIR registered against former cricketer, accused of cheating Rs 15 lakh, police investigates Sharu

An FIR has been registered against former Indian cricketer Rajesh Chauhan in a case of alleged fraud of more than Rs 15 lakh. Mohan Nagar police station has registered this case on the orders of the local court. Police have registered a case under section 316(2) of the Indian Justice Code (BNS) and started investigation. Police station in-charge Keshav Kosle said that the investigation of the case is going on and further action will be taken on the basis of investigation.

Complainant Dinkar Vishwamitra alleges that Rajesh Chauhan, calling himself a former international cricketer, claimed to have good relations with big industrialists. He said that his company Govind Transport Company has got the contract to transport iron ore from Jindal Steel in Keonjhar district of Odisha. According to the complainant, Chauhan assured him of getting good profits if he became a partner in this business and invested through trucks. In this belief, he entered into an agreement on July 30, 2021 and first deposited Rs 2.51 lakh and later Rs 15.01 lakh in the company’s account.

The matter of not getting the contract came to light in the investigation
According to the complaint, after some time when Rajesh Chauhan stopped giving satisfactory answers, Dinkar Vishwamitra contacted Jindal Steel Limited. From there he got information that neither Rajesh Chauhan nor his company was given any transport contract. The complainant also alleges that the work order documents shown to him were fake. After this, he gave a written complaint to the local police and the Superintendent of Police of Durg, but the FIR was not registered. Ultimately he had to approach the court.

Rajesh Chauhan denied the allegations
Judicial Magistrate First Class Aishwarya Diwan, after hearing the case, found that prima facie there were indications of a cognizable offence. The court directed the police to investigate and submit the final report. On the other hand, Rajesh Chauhan has rejected these allegations and called it a mutual business dispute. He said that some of the complainant’s amount has already been returned, while the remaining amount could not be returned on time due to personal reasons. At present the police is investigating the entire matter.
