2020 has been the worst year. Many lost their lives and many are still struggling. Here is another such sad news for the telly town. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's writer, Abhishek Makwana committed suicide on November 27. The Charkop police had registered an accidental death record after the writer was found hanging in his flat in a Kandivali building. Abhishek Makwana had mentioned financial troubles in suicide note, say police. The family members of the deceased alleged that he was a victim of cyber fraud and blackmail. His family also revealed that they had been getting calls from the fraudsters after his death, demanding that they pay back the money as he had allegedly made them guarantors in a loan. Abhishek's brother Jenis revealed that Abhishek's email records revealed the financial fraud. Talking about the same in an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Abhishek Makwana's brother Jenis said he was in Ahmedabad when his brother died and it was not before Sunday that he figured out the financial trap Abhishek was trapped in when he started getting calls from loan sharks demanding money.
He also revealed that when he told them that his brother had passed away and the family was not in the mental state to handle these issues right now, the calls started increasing and they even abused on the phone. Jenis said, "I checked my brother's mails because ever since he passed away, I got multiple phone calls from different numbers demanding to be paid back loans he owed someone. One call was a number registered in Bangladesh, one in Myanmar and others were from different states of India. From what I understood from the email records, my brother first took a small loan from one of the easy loan apps that charge a very high rate of interest." Jenis revealed he searched about that app on the internet and found that they have been involved in several cyber frauds before. "I looked at the transactions between them and my brother closely after that. I noticed that they kept sending small amounts despite my brother not applying for the loans. Their interest rates are as high as 30 percent," he said. The text messages on Abhishek's phone also show that he was being blackmailed and they told him that if he did not pay back, they would share the information with his friends. Jenis also said that when he got to know that all of Abhishek's friends got such messages he immediately warned them.
The Charkop Police station official revealed that the suicide note was written in Gujarati. The police said, "It spoke about difficulties in his personal life as well as financial troubles that he had been facing over the past many months. Apologising to his family, Abhishek said he tried his best to fight the circumstances but he can't do it any longer as the problems are only increasing." The official also said that Abhishek's family has shared the numbers from which the calls have been received. "We have approached the bank for the transaction details and the phone service providers for the call data records. Right now, there is no solid evidence of the fraud or that the company was harassing the deceased. As and when we establish anything, we will proceed with the necessary action against the company, "the official added.
