Asha had promised Usha that she will return the money to her within a month with an interest.

When she did not receive the invested amount nor the interest, Usha decided to lodge a complaint with the police. She alleged that the mother Asha Kshirsagar and her two sons Sandeep Kshirsagar and Milind Kshirsagar had duped many other women to the tune of Rs twelve lakhs twenty nine thousand from other women and duped them.
On the basis of the complaint lodged by the victim, the cops of Koradi Police Station registered a complaint against the accused and her sons and have initiated an investigation into the matter.
