The multi-crore company that has filed an arbitration case of Rs 250 crore against Bliss Consultancy—owned by Goregaon-based couple Ashesh and Shivangi Mehta—has auto-rickshaw drivers and retired persons on their board of directors. When mid-day approached one of the directors on whose behalf the company brought arbitration orders against the Mehtas’ company, he claimed to have no knowledge of the case and also alleged that his documents were being misused.
Mid-Day reporters managed to locate and speak with the directors of Denron. Hariprasad Paswan, one of the directors, vehemently denied any involvement in the arbitration process or the alleged transfer of funds amounting to Rs 200 crore to any company. He claimed that their documents had been misappropriated and utilised by someone else without their consent. Speaking with mid-day, Paswan recounted his post-retirement endeavours. Currently living in Nalasopara in a rented flat with his son and grandson, he served as an engineer in a managerial post at Air India until 2018 and sought new opportunities after retirement.
