Pune Crime News: Two Women Accused of Cheating Investors Out of ₹65.5 Lakh in Construction Fraud Pune – In a shocking case of investment fraud, two women from the Lashkar area have been accused of deceiving six people by promising them commercial or residential units in an under-construction building. The accused lured investors with the promise of lucrative returns from the construction business but allegedly swindled them out of ₹65.5 lakh. The victims were promised ownership of these units upon completion of the project. The complainant, 68-year-old Mehboob Abdulghani Shaikh, a resident of Camp, Pune, lodged an FIR at the Lashkar police station. According to the complaint, the accused, identified as Farhana Sadiq Qureshi and Hina Sadiq Qureshi, both residents of Bhimpura, Camp, convinced the victims to invest large sums in their construction business between April 2019 and February 2021. How the Fraud Unfolded According to police sources, the accused allegedly worked in collusion to convince the complainant and five of his relatives to invest in their construction project. They assured the victims that their investments would secure them permanent ownership of either commercial or residential spaces in the upcoming building. Over time, the victims invested a total of ₹65.5 lakh into the fraudulent scheme. However, once the money was transferred, the accused failed to deliver the promised units. When the victims demanded their money back, they were issued cheques from various banks. Unfortunately, the cheques bounced due to insufficient funds in the accounts. When the victims tried to confront the accused for their money, it was revealed that Farhana Qureshi had relocated, leaving the investors in the lurch. The Lashkar Police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and the investigation is currently being led by Police Sub-Inspector Gujar. Authorities are actively pursuing the case and gathering more evidence against the accused.

Pune: In a shocking incident in Dhanakwadi’s Vanrai Colony, a 13-year-old boy was injured when a revolver accidentally discharged after being knocked from a cupboard. The retired army officer, Nitin Hanumant Shirke, faces charges filed by the Sahakarnagar police for negligence in storing the weapon. The injured boy, identified as Abhay Nitin Shirke, is a 7th-grade student.

The incident occurred when Abhay, while at home on a Tuesday afternoon, accidentally bumped into a bag containing the revolver stored in the family cupboard. The bag fell to the floor, and the impact caused the gun to fire. One bullet pierced Abhay’s leg, leaving him seriously injured. His mother and younger brother, who were in the house at the time, rushed to his aid. (Pune News)

Police were alerted immediately, and upon investigation, it was revealed that the revolver belonged to his father, a retired military officer currently working as a security officer. Nitin Shirke legally owns the weapon, but his carelessness in storing the loaded gun led to the unfortunate accident.

Assistant Police Inspector Sagar Patil is leading the investigation, and the police have registered a case against Shirke for negligence under relevant sections of the law. (Pune Crime News)
