For the past six years, accused Abhishek Mahadik has been employed as a senior supervisor in InterAsia Shipping Lines India Private Limited. The head office of this company is in Taiwan. Albert Narhona (59), the complainant in this case, is the financial advisor of the company and looks after the financial affairs of the company. Narhona was looking at one of the company's bank account records on August 10. At that time, they found the transaction of 80 lakh rupees on July 14 suspicious. When they inquired more about the transaction, it was revealed that the amount was credited to Mahadik's salary account. After searching him thoroughly, they became suspicious of Mahadik. Narhona then checked the company's bank accounts for the previous six months. At that time, it was found that between May 12 and August 9, Mahadik had embezzled 17 crore 45 lakh rupees.

On investigation the accused produced fake vouchers in the name of PDA Advance, Refund and Interest along with fake emails, tally vouchers and other documents required for refund. Through that, it was found that the accused had misappropriated this amount. The accused returned one crore one lakh rupees. As the company failed to return the remaining amount, the company filed a complaint with the police. The Sahar police have registered a case under Sections 420, 409, 465, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. The Economic Offences Wing is investigating the matter as the fraud amount is more than INR 10 crore.
