Pune Jeweler Still Unarrested After Alleged Investment Scam
A jeweler named Vishnu Dahiwal, who owned Shree Jewellers, is in trouble.
He's accused of tricking over 2,000 people out of their money through a Bhishi investment scheme.
People invested money monthly, but Dahiwal disappeared on May 24th, without returning their money or interest.
This has caused significant financial and emotional distress for the investors.
A local politician, MLA Tapkir, wants the government to create rules to prevent these kinds of scams in the future.
The government has stated they will look into the matter.
Shree Jewellers owner, Vishnu Dahiwal, is still unarrested a month after absconding.
Dahiwal allegedly cheated over 2,000 investors in a multi-crore Bhishi scheme.
Investors have not received their investments or interest since May 24.
MLA Bhimrao Tapkir raised the issue, requesting government regulation of such schemes.
