An acquaintance demanded 5 crore from Prateek Yadav. The accused threatened to implicate him in a serious case like POCSO. The FIR includes charges of fraud and blackmail.
UP News: A high-profile extortion and fraud case has come to light in Uttar Pradesh, in which Prateek Yadav, the brother of Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav, has made serious allegations. Prateek Yadav has filed an FIR against his old acquaintance, Krishnanand Pandey, alleging a demand for five crore rupees in extortion and threats of being framed in a false case.
Prateek Yadav filed an FIR at the Gautam Palli police station
In the FIR registered at the Gautam Palli police station in Lucknow, Prateek Yadav has made serious allegations against Krishnanand Pandey, along with his wife Vandana Pandey and father Ashok Kumar Pandey. In the FIR, Prateek Yadav claimed that Krishnanand threatened to implicate him in serious charges like POCSO.
Contact started in 2011
According to the FIR, Prateek Yadav and Krishnanand Pandey first met in 2011-12. During this time, Krishnanand, impressed by Prateek's lifestyle and business, initiated business proposals. Gradually, he offered Prateek a partnership in a real estate project.
Proposal for investment in real estate and deception
Krishnanand Pandey suggested to Prateek Yadav that land be acquired in the Shaheed Path area of Lucknow and sold for future profit. Considering this proposal, Prateek formed a company in 2015, in which Krishnanand was appointed as a director, and Prateek presented himself as a promoter. Prateek also invested in the company.
Irregularities and fraud in the company's operations
According to Prateek Yadav, he had entrusted Krishnanand with the company's buying, selling, and other responsibilities. However, instead of fulfilling these responsibilities, Krishnanand misused the company's funds and profited personally. This caused a huge financial loss to Prateek and his company.
Gradually gained access to personal information
The FIR also mentions that Krishnanand befriended Prateek Yadav's staff and gathered information about his other businesses. During this time, he repeatedly sought financial help from Prateek, citing his poor financial condition and family problems.
Conspiracy to trap in the name of financial help
Prateek Yadav claims that initially, he helped on humanitarian grounds, but later it became clear that Krishnanand's intention was only to take advantage. When Prateek asked for an account of the investment, Krishnanand threatened to falsely implicate him in a POCSO case.
In the FIR, Prateek Yadav also stated that Krishnanand's wife, Vandana Pandey, and his father, Ashok Kumar Pandey, were also involved in the entire conspiracy. They also played a role in financial fraud and mental pressure.
Revelation after Covid
Prateek Yadav said that after recovering from the Covid infection, he received information from reliable sources that Krishnanand is an antisocial person. His intentions were suspicious from the beginning, and he had only befriended Prateek to exploit social contacts and financial resources.
Prateek Yadav's demand
In the FIR, Prateek has requested the police to conduct a thorough investigation into the fraud and extortion case and take strict action against the culprits. He has expressed apprehension that a conspiracy is being hatched to cause mental and social harm to him and his family.
