A Kenyan businessman has written to the Government of India requesting them to help him find an Indian national whom he alleges he defrauded him.
Mr John Odero Anditi, the proprietor of Lema Laboratory Supplies, wrote the letter through the Country’s High Commissioner in Kenya claiming that Mr Jain Ravi the director of Jain Laboratory Instruments stole the Sh540,000 in a business deal and along the letter was the transactions documents for the goods.
“On December 22, 2017, I contacted various companies in India concerning an item that I intended to import since it could not be found locally. The item in the picture was a Multiparameter water proof 3pc Hanna brand model H19829 whose value was indicated as USD 5,400 (Sh540,000) by the company called Jain Laboratory Instruments with Mr Jain Ravi as the director,” states Mr Anditi in his letter.
Those copied to the letter were the Kenyan High Commissioner, India and Deputy Commissioner of Ambala, India.
Mr Anditi mentioned that the Indian company sold him the wrong goods worth $15 (Sh1,500) after a lot of similarity.
He also said that upon scrutiny of the supplied products, the verification indicated “fake items as ordered and invoiced.”
After being contacted on Saturday, Mr Ravi referred the Nation to his company’s legal operations boss Mr Mukesh Malhotra, disagreed with the claims of selling Mr Anditi the wrong products.
Mr Anditi said he was ready to push through with the Indian Embassy to “prove my case so that Mr Ravi is brought to book.”
