The Malleswaram police, which is investigating a cheating case involving three persons, including Bharat Earth Movers Ltd CMD, have launched a search to catch the main accused Mr Prasanna V Ghotage, who is currently absconding. The police said that Vaman Kumar is also absconding.

An investigative officer said that “We need to first question accused Ghotage to know what happened with the complainant in the iron ore deal. So, we tried to take him into custody, but he and his family members are absconding. He is not answering to our calls or text messages.”

BEML CMD Mr VRS Natarajan along with Mr Ghotage a Belgaum based trader and exporter and Mr Vaman Kumar CEO of Pune based Nordbell Commercial Ltd have been accused of cheating a city based Dreams Logistics India Private Ltd to the tune of INR 35 crore in iron ore trade.

The FIR against the trio was registered on April 14. Earlier, Dreams Logistics MD Vivek Hebbar had filed a ‘private complaint’ in the seventh ACMM court, which directed the police to investigate the matter.
