Cox & Kings Promoter amid ongoing treatment

The Mumbai Police in a new development has seized mobile phone and tablet from Ajay Ajit Peter Kerkar, the promoter of Cox & Kings Company, currently under medical care. He is facing a fraud case involving approximately ₹3700 crore.

Kerkar, who had been incarcerated at Arthur Road Jail in 2020, was subsequently admitted to Bombay Hospital for health treatment based on a High Court order, where he has been receiving care for the past four months. To ensure his security, local police forces were assigned to monitor him in two shifts.

Surprisingly, regardless the presence of the police, a mobile phone, tablet, and charger were found in Kerkar’s possession amidst a recent visit by officials from Arthur Road Jail to the hospital. The duration of his access to the mobile phone is currently under investigation.

No sooner the mobile phone and tablet was discovered in Kerkar’s possession , the jail authorities reported the matter to the local Azad Maidan police station.

Kerkar, as of now, reportedly is facing several cases from both the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Economic Offence Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police.

The ED is actively investigating a minimum of 10 cases related to Kerkar, with two additional cases registered against him and Cox & Kings by the EOW.

Kerkar stands accused of misappropriating funds by obtaining loans from various banks, with an estimated embezzlement amounting to approximately ₹3700 crore.

The case continues to unfold as investigations progress.
