Ahmedabad, Jul 27 (IANS): Ahmedabad's Economic Offences Wing Crime Branch has filed a case against Dharmesh Patel, also known as the 'Rs 750 crore Assamese Scammer'. The new case levies charges of financial fraud amounting to Rs 3.2 crore against him. The new lawsuit was filed on Thursday.
Dharmesh Manilal Patel, a resident of Dharmama Bungalows in the Keshavnagar area in Ahmedabad City, is the accused in this case. Patel has been involved in several legal tussles recently.
The Joint Commissioner of Police for local crime prevention has directed a thorough scrutiny and investigation into the allegations of deceit and fraud levelled against Patel. The instructions also include the need to coordinate with foreign agencies, considering the international implications of the case.
