A woman has been accused of defrauding her husband of Rs 1.73 crore with assistance from three accomplices by falsely promising him a loan and threatening him with a fabricated police case in Mumbai's eastern suburbs, according to an official statement on Monday.
Following the victim's complaint, police filed a first information report on Sunday against the accused Poonam Rode and her three collaborators Sachin Yelavi, Suhas Pawar, and Kishor Pawar, confirmed an official from Bhandup police station.
The official reported that Poonam allegedly swindled her husband, Vishal Ashok Rode, out of Rs 1.73 crore across a seven-year period.
In September 2019, she introduced Vishal to her friend Yelavi and associate Suhas Pawar, presenting them as businessmen capable of facilitating a loan for him, the official explained.
Subsequently, she claimed that a businessman named Mhatre, connected to Suhas Pawar, could arrange a Rs 3 crore loan through a company. Under duress, Vishal Rode paid Rs 6.92 lakh as processing fees to Yelavi, according to the official.
However, the promised loan never materialized, the official stated.
The FIR details how a female employee from Suhas Pawar's office initiated WhatsApp conversations with Vishal Rode and allegedly exchanged explicit photographs, which were later used as leverage against him.
The accused reportedly threatened to file a police case and began extracting money from him to resolve the situation, the official revealed.
Additionally, since 2022, Poonam Rode has been transferring Rs 2.20 lakh monthly from her husband's account to her own, accumulating Rs 82.23 lakh in misappropriated funds.
The complainant sought police intervention after the accused compelled him to sign property documents, the official added, noting that further investigation is ongoing.
