Jawale's fraudulent activities began during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and continued for four years before he went into hiding. He ran out of luck when he allegedly duped a Mumbai man of Rs50 lakh after showing him an office space at BKC. The police are now working to determine the full extent of the fraud and identify any other individuals who may have been involved in the scam. Jawale collected money from buyers through online transactions, which were credited to his company's account, Quick Deals, dealing in real estate. Instead of paying the sum to the bank, he used it for his own purpose. His modus operandi involved obtaining keys to such properties and showcasing them to interested parties. He would collect advance payments from the buyers before vanishing with the money.
