Navi Mumbai bank fraud complaint: Sunil Satvir Marothiya alleges forged identity, Vashi APMC loans and threat to life

In a detailed complaint submitted to Turbhe MIDC Police Station and the Economic Offences Wing, a Badlapur auto-rickshaw driver has alleged identity fraud, multi-crore loans, banking misuse and intimidation.

A Navi Mumbai bank fraud complaint filed by Sunil Satvir Marothiya alleges that forged documents were used to obtain multi-crore loans linked to Vashi APMC Market units and other business assets.

The complaint is addressed to the Senior Police Inspector, Turbhe MIDC Police Station, Thane-Belapur Road, MIDC, Turbhe, Navi Mumbai, and to the Economic Offences Wing, Room 2, CBD Belapur.

Marothiya identifies himself as a resident of Plot No. 403, A Wing, Ekvira Apartment, Ambika Nagar, Belavali, Badlapur West, Taluka Ambernath, District Thane.

He names accused number one as Amit Jitin Shinde alias “Shinde Sarkar”, residing at 1309, Vertical Bliss, First Road, near Standard Chartered Bank, Almeida Park, Bandra West, Mumbai.

The complaint also names accused number two as Abhijay Mitra alias Anmol Chaudhary of Ambernath East, Thane district, and accused number three as Sukanti alias Priya Prakash Shethi.

According to the complaint, Priya Prakash Shethi is shown as residing at A/02, Sai Smruti Co-operative Housing Society, Kharegaon, near Mayur Hotel, Kalwa, Thane district, with phone numbers included.

Complaint names Amit Jitin Shinde, Abhijay Mitra and Priya Prakash Shethi

Marothiya states that he lives with his parents and two brothers and has worked as an auto-rickshaw driver in Ambernath for seven to eight years.

He says a 2014 Ulhasnagar Police Station case, registered as Crime No. 1956/2014 under IPC Section 399, led to his arrest and confinement in Adharwadi Jail, before acquittal.

According to his version, he met Amit Jitin Shinde in jail, where Shinde allegedly projected himself as a Punjab National Bank general manager who could arrange loans.

The complaint says that after Marothiya secured bail from a Kalyan court in 2015, contact continued, and Shinde allegedly suggested raising loans in Marothiya’s name for business.

Marothiya alleges he handed over copies of Aadhaar card, PAN card and related documents, trusting representations that finance would help him establish a stable livelihood and business future.

He further states that English-language forms were brought for signature, and because he could neither properly read nor understand English, he signed, relying on assurances allegedly given.

The complaint alleges that Shinde later claimed a prior criminal record would obstruct loan approval, and proposed creating a new identity so banking transactions could proceed without difficulty.

Sunil Marothiya’s complaint alleges a name change to Rajesh Ramakant Gupta

Marothiya alleges that his identity was changed through a Gazette process from Sunil Satvir Marothiya to Rajesh Ramakant Gupta, followed by fresh Aadhaar, PAN and other documents.

He says those documents were retained by Amit Jitin Shinde, and that a separate residential address was also allegedly created for the new identity used in banking records.

The complaint refers to Mahabaleshwar 303, Unit No. 3, and a firm identified as Grameen International, allegedly opened in a new name with banking links.

According to Marothiya, a Punjab National Bank account was opened and verified in person, with bank staff allegedly identifying him as the director of Grameen International under that assumed identity.

He alleges a new SIM card was purchased for internet banking, that the registered mobile number remained under others’ control, and that account operations were handled without his knowledge.

The complaint further alleges that Amit Jitin Shinde operated similar arrangements involving 100 to 150 people, rotating funds through accounts to build civil scores and enable larger borrowing.

Marothiya specifically names Bank of Maharashtra, Mumbai Central branch, ICICI Bank, Wadala Ram Mandir branch, and Canara Bank, CBD Belapur-Valapur branch, in relation to alleged business loan transactions.

Vashi APMC Market units, MIDC plot and bank loans feature prominently

The complaint alleges that Bank of Maharashtra financed Rs 1 crore, used for units 609 and 610 at Central Facility Building, Fruit Market, Turbhe, Vashi APMC Market.

It further alleges that ICICI Bank sanctioned Rs 2.25 crore against those units, after which units 611 and 612 were purchased in the same Vashi APMC complex.

Marothiya then alleges that Canara Bank sanctioned a further Rs 3.18 crore after units 611 and 612 were mortgaged, with him repeatedly taken for verification formalities.

The complaint also mentions a 2018 MIDC plot in Patan industrial area, Satara district, and a second company, Shivang Food Agrofeed Private Limited, allegedly used thereafter.

According to Marothiya, another Rs 2.21 crore loan was later obtained from Bank of Maharashtra, Mumbai Central branch, while debit cards, credit cards and cheque books remained elsewhere.

He alleges that Abhijay Mitra, alias Anmol Chaudhary, was introduced as the person handling banking work, while Sukanti, alias Priya Prakash Shethi, functioned as Amit Shinde’s manager.

Marothiya says he never received a business share or financial benefit, but later received recovery-related pressure after the mobile number connected to bank records was returned to him.

Threat allegation and request for police protection

The complaint adds that after he indicated he may approach the police, Amit Jitin Shinde allegedly contacted him on WhatsApp from mobile number 9955026913 regarding Himachal Pradesh.

Marothiya alleges he was pressured to travel for a “final transaction” with assurances that all dues would be cleared, but says he fears the journey may endanger his life.

He has requested a detailed investigation, action against all named persons, scrutiny of possible collusion by bank managers and verification officials, and consideration as an approver witness.

He has also sought immediate police protection until arrests are made, stating that any future harm to him should, according to his complaint, be treated as attributable to the accused persons.

Sprouts News has reviewed the complaint text but has not independently verified the allegations. Police registration, official response, and any court-tested evidence will determine the case’s legal trajectory.

If authorities open a formal probe, the matter could raise broader questions about identity verification, banking due diligence, commercial lending controls, and oversight around high-value market-linked financing.

Sprouts News made repeated attempts to contact Amit Jitin Shinde, Abhijay Mitra alias Anmol Chaudhary, and Priya Prakash Shethi for their response regarding the allegations mentioned in the complaint. However, no response was received till the time of publication. Calls placed to Abhijay Mitra alias Anmol Chaudhary, were reportedly not answered.

Previous controversies linked to Amit Shinde Sarkar: What is publicly known so far

Several allegations and controversies have reportedly surfaced in the past in connection with Amit Shinde Sarkar, according to complaint documents, media references, and statements made by individuals. However, many of these claims remain unverified in court and should be treated as allegations unless officially established.

One reported matter involved an alleged bank fraud case, in which three persons, including two women, were reportedly detained at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata, after returning from Bangkok via Bangladesh. Reports at the time named Amit Sarkar, Mita Sarkar, and Mira Sarkar in connection with that case.

In a separate recent complaint submitted to authorities in Navi Mumbai, a complainant has accused Amit Jitin Shinde alias “Shinde Sarkar” of allegedly creating forged identities, securing multi-crore business loans, misusing bank accounts, and issuing threats. These allegations are presently part of a complaint process and have not been proven in court.

The same complaint also alleges the use of multiple associates, shell business entities, and loan transactions involving commercial properties. No official chargesheet or judicial finding has yet been cited publicly in relation to those claims.

It is important to note that Amit Shinde Sarkar has not publicly responded to these allegations at the time of writing, despite attempts for comment being reported.

As with all such matters, only findings by police investigators, regulators, or courts can conclusively determine wrongdoing. Until then, all allegations should be considered claims under examination.
