A court has once again denied bail to Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Rashmi Karandikar’s husband, Purushottam Chavan, in a high-profile cheating case involving over Rs 24 crore. The court noted that there is sufficient material on record indicating his involvement in the alleged crime.
Chavan is accused of swindling victims out of approximately Rs 24.78 crore by promising plots and flats at low prices under the government quota. According to the probe agency, he lured people with these false assurances, creating a carefully planned scheme to cheat the public.
