Mangalore, Mar 28: A major fraud case came to light on Wednesday March 28, when a person who allegedly cheated scores of people suddenly went missing.

Narendra Kamath, the accused, had been collecting money for chit fund from auto rickshaw drivers through door-to-door collection and at rickshaw stands.

Gullible auto drivers placed their faith on him and gave him money amounting to Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000 to deposit in the chit fund. As he has been doing this for six years, there was not much scope for suspicion.

Some of the cheques amounting to lacs that he given to the auto drivers bounced, which further added to suspicion.

Now his house is found to be locked and he is absconding with crores of rupees collected from auto drivers.

He had rented a house near Ganapathy temple, Dongerkery. Scores of auto drivers who had become his victims gathered at the spot.

Bunder police have registered a case and are investigating.

    I agree with Mr. Nayak mangalore.He must have invested people's money in other business like taxi/transport and got his finger burned. So now he is absconding. World is changing very fast but our people never learn from the past lessons. It is high time to catch these illegal chit fund operators and put them behind the bars. So that other innocent people do not get cheated.

    Root cause of all these problems is uncontrolled greed. My sympathies with the auto drivers, may be they have learnt something out of taking care of hard earned money.

    In general Kamath and Konkani will not cheat! They are compassionate! There could have been unforeseen circumstances...otherwise he will not cheat! In business they are bound to make profit by hard work and dedication! Tricks of the trade are always part of it and admirable!! This one is unfortunate!! Thisshi ittyak kele maraya?

    Mmmmm-Interesting point ,bringing disgrace to the GSB community. Comes to mind the title ..no dialogue of a film...My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist! Something along the same lines...
    I mean if Madhur Bhandarkar rapes should R. Bhandarkar also be blamed or looked at suspiciously? What has he got in the bargain? He has never even seen the heroine!!!Get what I am driving at? Every community( the society is unfortunately bifurcated into) has it's own share of rotten apples! You have to live with it!
    Learn from the good and take bad along in the stride!
    Therefore Cheaters, Terrorists and the like as is rightly said do not represent any community or relegion!

    Wonder why people trust on these funds when govt has opened lots of saving schemes in Banks , post offices . Might be greed of saving tax or not showing it to income tax dept .. This is bound to happen

    No need to insult any one based on cast, no one is saint here. Plz comment on subject without insulting any one. I Dont understand why the public invest in such funds, in post office, Agree gold so many recurring funds. You can pay in instalments daily n monthly to save something from daily income specially for Rickshaw n taxi wala's. Hard earned money is gone. The cheque itself is fraud. Instead of lack, lake is written. So many spelling mistake. I feel putty for these drivers. God bless them, hope police will nab the culprit.

    Its’ their hard earned money Kamath Saab, people die from Bus, Car or Bike Accidents but you will die because of Rickshaw Accident soon if you don’t give their money back. Dear Coastal People, don’t ever try to dupe our own innocent people in our Coastal Area, we are Most God Fearing People living peacefully in our Coastal Area.

    Narendra Kamath has proved himself as a GEM for the community. Hindutva was his first comment whenever he starts to speak and cheated poor auto drivers easily.

    CHEATERS AND CRIMINALS DOSN'T BELONG TO ANY PARTICULAR COMMUNITY OR CASTE. SO DONT BALME THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY WHEN FEW PROVE CRIMINALS OR CHEATERS.
