Lawyer Threatened Over ₹20,000 Penalty Demand In Amraiwadi

According to the complaint filed by 45-year-old lawyer Vijay Parmar, his friends Bipin alias Pappu and Chetanbhai had helped arrange a ₹40,000 loan from a financier around five months ago.

Divyesh Gohil had stood as surety by providing four signed blank cheques from two banks along with identity documents. According to the complaint, Divyesh later repaid the loan along with interest in full.

Despite the repayment, the accused allegedly demanded an additional ₹20,000 as a penalty. Chetan, Bipin alias Pappu, Jignesh alias Jigo and Hansaben Parmar allegedly confronted Divyesh over the demand.
