The Bhoiwada police have taken legal action against an individual accused of fraud after a doctor reported the person for falsely claiming to be the great-grandson of Satam Maharaj. The accused used this false identity to deceive the doctor and manipulate a land dispute situation in Pune, managing to steal Rs 42 lakh from the doctor's bank account.

The accused initially introduced himself as the great-grandson of Satam Maharaj and slowly built a relationship with the doctor. The doctor, who is an experienced practitioner, allowed the accused, identified as Sanjay Dattaram Satam, to visit his clinic in Dadar for therapy sessions. Satam made false claims about his connections, stating that he was an international lawyer with ties to the Supreme Court and falsely asserting that he was related to the Prime Minister of Ireland, Varadkar. Using these lies, he gained the doctor's trust and offered to help resolve a land dispute in Pune.

Afterwards, the accused accessed the doctor's bank account details and illegally withdrew a significant amount of money. When the doctor noticed the unauthorized transactions, he alerted the authorities, leading to the filing of a police report. Exploiting the doctor's AMD condition, the accused orchestrated deceitful transfers, moving over Rs 42 lakh from both the doctor's and his son's accounts to his own account.
