The purported director of Denron Rea-IT Pvt Ltd, Hariprasad Akaloo Paswan, who surfaced following mid-day’s investigation into the case of the mysterious Goregaon couple Ashesh and Shivangi Mehta, has told the Bombay High Court that he was unaware of his role as a director in the firm and disavowed any connection with the arrested couple. He contended that he became aware of his directorship solely through a mid-day reporter and denied involvement in the alleged Rs 200 crore arbitration against Bliss Consultants, owned by the Mehtas, claiming he never signed any pertinent documents.

In an intervention application filed before the court on March 8, he asserted, “Everything is being orchestrated by one Ajay Harinath Singh and his close associate Ajay Pasi. My documents have been misused to create fake companies and perpetrate fraud. I am taking steps to file a complaint with the relevant authorities about this. It`s imperative to understand that I have absolutely no involvement in any such fraudulent activities. All fraudulent documents and proceedings against Bliss Consultants have been initiated, orchestrated and perpetrated by Ajay Harinath Singh, aided by advocate Dharmendra V Patel and Ajay Pasi for reasons best known to them.”
