A police official said a case was 🐭registered against Shailesh Thakre for cheating on a complaint lodged⛦ by Yadav, a resident of Nagpur.

After Yadav was selected as a meওmber of the Indian cricket team, he appointed his friend Thakre as his manager on July 15, 2014, as t🍰he latter was unemployed, the official said quoting the First Information Report (FIR).
"Thakre gained theಌ trust of Yadav over time. He started handling all the financial affairs of Umesh Yadav. He used to handle Yadav's bank account, income tax and other financial tasks," he said.
The official said Yadav was looking for land for buying in Nagpur and ask💜ed Tha🐻kre.
"Thakre located a plot in a barren area. He told Yadav he would get it for Rs 44 lakh. Yadav depꦍosited Rs 44 lakh in Thakre's bank account. However, Thakre purchased the plot in his name," he said.
When Yadav learnt about the fraud, he asked Thakre to transfer the plot in his name but the latter refused to oblige. He also refused to return the mon♏🍨ey, the official said.
"Yadav lodged a complaint with police in Koradi, following which a case was registered under sections 406 (Punishment for criminal breach of trus🌺t) and 420 (Cheating and thereby dishonestly inducing delivery of property) of the Indian Penal Code," the official added.
