Ahire lives with his family in a slum in the outer suburbs of Ambivli. He had recently approached the police complaining that fraudsters had created a fake bank account in his name and have used his PAN card to make transactions through it.

"I got a letter from Income-Tax (department) in which they asked me to pay Rs 1.05 crore. I get weekly payments from doing a labourer's job. I have never seen Rs 1 lakh together. This is a fraud. I should get justice," an anxious Bhausaheb Ahire said.
