A retired assistant police inspector (API) was among the 45 employees of M/s Sainergy Cabs 9, floated by mastermind Maniesh Sethi, in the multi-crore rent-a-car scheme, in which over 600 people were duped at Vikhroli.

Like many other employees, the retired API, Shashikant Gaikwad, has not been paid salary for some months. While his employees like Gaikwad suffered, Sethi continued to boast. "We will get contracts from large beverage manufacturing companies and famous Bollywood production houses, for renting cars," he allegedly told them. Deepak Bhoir, 50, who worked with Sethi as transport manager, has decided to speak about all the wrong doings within the company.
