Statement by Dimple Somji and Alnesh Somji  

The complaint filed against us I for alleged offense of cheating by one Mr. Yogesh Dikshit is totally false and baseless. The complainant has deliberately and with malafide intentions suppressed several facts one of which is that he has already received the entire amount on 25th October 2021 i.e. prior to the lodging of the present F.I.R. This itself proves that the entire complaint is motivated and a malafide attempt to harass our family. As far Ms. Chawla and Mr. Shetty are concerned, as per our understanding they have not filed any complaint against us as no amount is due and payable to them. We are in process of taking appropriate steps in the matter and we are positive that justice will prevail, and the truth will come to light.

Our partner Agarwal’s have borrowed money in the firms name to match up his investments to mine but unfortunately the firm has ended up paying interest on his behalf for years and eroded the company cash flows. As of today there are cases going on of recovery on the company for money’s borrowed by Agarwal’s in the companies name service interest for their share of investment. Further to that, they have done massive withdrawals to fund their lifestyle at the cost of the company . Further to that, they have done massive withdrawals to fund their lifestyle at the cost of the company . Due to their incapacity to refurbish the monies withdrawn at the right time towards the company , we have had to sell many a project at a nett market loss just to avoid NPA of banks and to service interest of Agarwal’s unsecured loans. They are owners of Bavaria Motors and there have been work carried by them at showrooms of Bavaria Motors using the company’s money. They are due to pay Rs 16.60 crore and I have already sent a notice to them. My goodwill and hard work of last 10 years has come under question due to misdeeds of the Agarwal family who are very carefully planting stories and cases to malign the image of me and my family.

The complaint filed against Alnesh and Dimple Somji of cheating by one Yogesh Dikshit is totally false and baseless. The complainant has deliberately and with malafide intentions suppressed several facts one of which is that he has already received the entire amount on 25th October 2021 i.e. prior to the lodging of the present F.I.R. Also sharing the payment details. This itself proves that the entire complaint is motivated and a malafide attempt to harass our family. As far Ms. Chawla and Mr. Shetty (names in the FIR) are concerned, We are in process of taking appropriate steps in the matter and we are positive that justice will prevail, and the truth will come to light. Meanwhile Alnesh and Dimple were not fleeing anywhere and were going for a holiday with return tickets. He has all is business here and has no intention to flee the country. Infact the payment has been made to Dixit before the FIR and there was no reason to run away. 

In 2011, Alnesh started business with the Agarwal family of Bavaria motors under the name of Gagan Ace Developers .They were in the midst of an aquisition of a piece of land of 5 acres in village pisoli along with some other land parcels. Alnesh had bought in an amount of 6.96 cr in the financial year 2011/12 which can be verified from the balance sheets as well as the ledgers. Unfortunately Agarwal family could muster up only a combined amount of 1.66 cr in the financial year. To bridge the shortfall , they requested to raise unsecured loans from the open market. Alnesh was assured that he would not be liable for these loans.Maya Chawla,Dhananjay Shetty and Kiran Shetty came into the picture to invest in the firm as they were looking for an avenue of returns for the long term. They came in to fill the shortfall of Agarwals and has nothing to do with Alnesh and family. The investments are actually with Gagan Ace developers and not Alnesh and family. 

As of today there are cases going on of recovery on the company for money’s borrowed by Agarwal’s in the company. Agarwals have done massive withdrawals to fund their lifestyle at the cost of the company . They are owners of Bavaria Motors and there have been work carried by them at showrooms of Bavaria Motors using the company’s money. They are due to pay Rs 16.60 crore and they have already sent a notice. Even DMI finance has sent a notice on the same.”
