Mohit Jain Arrested for Alleged Data Forgery in Pune Scam

Chartered Accountant Accused of Defaming Windson Projects

by Ananya Mehta

The Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) has apprehended Mohit Jain, a 30-year-old chartered accountant, for allegedly falsifying data to tarnish the reputation of Windson Projects Pvt Ltd, a private firm based in Pune. The issue came to light on December 12, following a complaint lodged by Shailendra Rathi, a partner at Windson Projects, with the south cyber cell.

Rathi reported that on December 7, an  user under the handle satya_karmaa published a defamatory tweet accusing Windson of being involved in a Rs 3000 crore scam. The tweet suggested that a well-known business firm was also implicated, and that the funds were intended to be funneled into Windson’s bank account. Although Rathi provided a link as evidence, it was later discovered to be non-functional, and the satya_karmaa account had been deleted by that time.

Suspecting data manipulation, the police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the unknown user. The case was escalated to the crime branch, where the CIU conducted a comprehensive technical investigation. This probe revealed data breaches in the company’s bank account from October to December of the previous year, ultimately leading to Jain’s arrest on January 27 in Andheri, where he resides.

Authorities are now delving into the motives behind Jain’s actions to determine if there were any accomplices involved. Jain faces multiple charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act, including cheating, intentional insult, and criminal intimidation. The Esplanade court has remanded him into police custody until January 30.
