Gandole has worked with institutions promoted by Gawali since 2008 and resigned in June 2019.
He claimed to police police that after the institution’s auditor showed irregularities to him, he formed a committee to ask about the incident.
The committee asked with Gandole about the money, and he thought he told them that he had given it to the mood.
In his complaint, Gawli alleged that the two defendants had threatened to submit a false case to frame the institute officials if they approached the police.
