The news has been broken in the media following the official statement from the Police regarding the same issue. A police official informed that the case of cheating was filed in the name of Shailesh Thakre after receiving a complaint by Umesh Yadav who himself is a resident of Nagpur.

Umesh’s friend Thakre (37) is a native of Karadi and the former’s friend for a very long time. Although the police haven’t arrested anyone so far.
