The LT Marg police have registered a case against two businessmen for taking a loan of Rs 1.72 crore from another businessman and not returning the money despite giving additional time for repayment. According to the police, Nitin Jaisukhbhai Dodia, a resident of Borivali, who runs a business of manpower supply, textiles, clothing, and footwear in Ghatkopar lent Rs 1.72 crore for five days to Mukesh Kanaram Kumawat and Sanjay Khichcha through Manish Amritlal Popat, a trusted acquaintance of Dodia.
A week later, Dodia inquired about the repayment through Popat, who directed him to Mukesh and Sanjay. However, both repeatedly requested extensions, citing various reasons. Despite being given additional time, two months passed without repayment.
When Dodia visited the accused at their Bhuleshwar office, they avoided him with further excuses. The police have recorded statements from both Popat and Dodia. “The police officials are set to interrogate the accused to uncover details about where the funds were used and whether they have committed similar offences in the past,” said an official.
