Know what is the whole matter?

A Pune-based IT engineer was duped of ₹14 crore by a fraudulent godman, promising to cure his two daughters. The fraudster claimed that Shankar Maharaja had entered his body and could cure any illness, and misled the victimized couple. Deepak Dolas, the IT engineer, and his wife, a teacher, were duped.

The couple's multi-crore rupee fraud case has caused a stir. The couple has lost their life savings, their home and farmhouse in England. The main accused in this case is Deepak Khadke, and his disciple, Vedika Pandharpurkar, aided him in the fraud. Together, they duped the Dolas couple in the name of spiritual powers and healing.

Lying and depositing money in the bank

Deepak Dolas was forced to sell his property worth crores, claiming that Shankar Maharaj comes in Vedika's body and whatever he says must be done. Remarkably, all this money was transferred via RTGS to the bank accounts of Rajendra Khadke and Vedika Pandharpurkar. This had been going on since 2018. Deepak Dolas, his wife, and two daughters were taken to Rajendra Khadke's court. There, Vedika Pandharpurkar pretended that Shankar Maharaj comes in her body. After that, he said that if you keep your property, you will come, and all the money and deposits in the bank were transferred to Vedika's accounts.

But even then, Dolas' daughters didn't recover, so he inquired with Khadke and Pandharpurkar, who told him there were defects in his house. Dolas had worked in England for a few years, so he owned a house there and had purchased a farmhouse. He was asked to sell his house and farmhouse in England, and the money was transferred to Pandharpurkar's account. After that, Dolas was asked to sell his plot and flat in Pune, and that money was also siphoned off.
