A case of cheating has been registered today at the Kandivali police station against Lal Singh Rajpurohit, a leader of the Eknath Shinde faction, along with one of his associates.

According to the complaint, in 2019, Rajpurohit paid Rs 1 lakh as an initial deposit and rented a shop for three years at a monthly rent of Rs 15,000. A few months later, he proposed to purchase the shop, and the deal was finalized for Rs 57 lakh. He initially paid around Rs 4 lakh, promising to pay the remaining amount within 90 days. However, after the deadline passed, he neither paid the balance nor vacated the shop.
