Moinuddin, a resident of Manvi town in Raichur district, has alleged that Suresh cheated him by promising to set up a cable TV channel and taking advance payments. Suresh had agreed to set up the cable network for Rs 14 lakh and took Rs 4 lakh as advance. Suresh took Rs 7 lakh in installments, but allegedly did half-hearted work and left the project incomplete, Moinuddin alleged.
Moinuddin claimed that he got back only Rs 1 lakh in 2017 and Suresh stopped responding to his calls thereafter. He said that he recently tracked down Suresh, after which the latter had given Rs 50,000 to Moinuddin’s friend Basavaraj. Suresh often gave him small amounts of money and promised to return the remaining Rs 4 lakh.
He alleged that Gold Suresh had given him a Mumbai location a few days ago, asking him to visit Mumbai and settle the financial deal, but hasn’t done so yet.
Suresh denied the allegations of Moinuddin, stating that he had completed the cable channel setup in 2017 and had already refunded the pending amount to Moinuddin. He questioned why Moinuddin was making allegations now.
Suresh claimed that he had set up the cable channel as agreed and had handed over channel. “That channel is also in someone else’s name. They will be coming forward with such claims now”, he alleged.
He further said that the agreement between them was for Rs 6 lakh. “I have set up all the studios as per the money I received. I am going to legal recourse because he is simply making accusations”, Suresh responded.
