Pune: A case has been filed against Surendra Agarwal, a construction businessman and a key accused in the Kalyani Nagar accident case, for allegedly abusing and threatening to kill an employee of a private company over a dishonored cheque.
The incident took place on August 29th at the Bramha Multicon Private Limited Company office on Mahatma Gandhi Road.
Vidyasagar Selvaraj Singaram, 37, lodged a complaint at the Lashkar police station, stating that he was summoned by Agarwal after a cheque issued by Singaram’s company bounced.
During the meeting, Agarwal initially asked Singaram to take back the dishonored cheque but later claimed that the original cheque could not be located. Following this, Singaram informed his company's directors, who advised him to obtain a written explanation from Agarwal regarding the missing cheque.
Complying with the instructions, Singaram managed to get a written statement from Agarwal, assuring that the cheque would be returned once found and not misused.
However, shortly after, Agarwal allegedly resorted to abusive language, tore up the original settlement agreement, and threatened Singaram with dire consequences, saying, "I will kill you," as per the complaint filed.
Previous Bail in Driver Abduction Case
This is not the first time Agarwal has faced legal issues. He and his son Vishal were previously charged at the Yerawada police station for threatening and kidnapping a driver linked to the Kalyani Nagar accident case. Agarwal was granted bail in that matter and is currently out on bail.
