Both later had a relationship, and the man also arranged for a rented house for her in the Gota area.After gaining her trust, Patel allegedly informed her about the ‘black money’ the trust received and convinced her to use her bank account. He would then withdraw the money from her account via cheques, making it legitimate.According to the complaint, when the woman discovered that Patel was married, she wanted to end the relationship but refrained from it fearing legal action against the illegal transactions made from her bank account.A month ago, overwhelmed by the stress caused by these transactions, the woman once again tried to end the relationship but was threatened by the accused.&nbsp;The woman approached police, who initiated an investigation into the matter.

The Income Tax Department is likely to intervene in the case of a man – allegedly associated with a Swaminarayan trust – who was accused of money laundering in a Delhi woman’s account with whom he was in a relationship.
