The Dhamnod police have registered a fraud case against Mumbai-based ST Textile Private Limited following complaints from local traders alleging non-payment for cotton bales supplied to the company.
In a press conference on Monday, SHO Santosh Dudhi revealed that ST Textile, located in Andheri, Mumbai, acquired a large quantity of cotton bales from Dhamnod traders without making due payments.
The complainants — Subhash Mangal, Nitin Mangal, Radha Mohan Agarwal, and Sanket Garg, owners of a ginning factory in Dhamnod — had a long-standing business relationship with ST Textile, managed by Mukesh Tyagi, Nikhil Tyagi, and Sangeeta Tyagi. While payments were timely initially, the Mumbai firm began delaying payments from April 2024, eventually stopping them altogether by November 2024. Communication between the parties ceased, prompting the traders to file a complaint on February 20.
Following a preliminary investigation, the Dhamnod police registered a case under sections 61(2), 318(4), and 316(5) against the Tyagi family members. SHO Dudhi confirmed that appropriate legal action will be pursued against the accused.
