In one of the case, the company accused an employee (name withheld) of stealing its briquettes and filed an insurance claim.
Sources within the company say that the management colluded with logistics person(s), but failed to mention them in the details of the claim.
However, as the employee intimates to Kahawa Tungu, it was a plot by the company to fire him since he knew ‘too’ much about the company’s dirty deals.
“Dinesh (Tembhekar), you have forced me to severe mental torture, incur huge losses, my family to suffer a lot and to incur unnecessary costs. Am knowingly and confidently sure that nothing have stolen from you neither your company (sic),” reads a letter by the employee, addressed to the company owner.
