According to the complainant lodged on May 26 by Balram Padhiyar, a resident of Ahmedabad, one Gaurang Chowksi of Ahmedabad approached him and told him that they had sold at least 100 bio-diesel pumps of different companies and if Padhiyar is interested, he can also join the business by securing its franchise.

According to the complainant, he paid Chowksi Rs 15,00,000 in two instalments. The company also gave him receipts for the payments, Padhiyar told the cops.
