The IPS officer had headed the investigation into an alleged ₹1,200 crore scam pertaining to Jalgaon-based Bhaichand Hirachand Raisoni Credit Society during 2020-22. Earlier in August, the Pune Police registered a case against IPS Navtake. The case was filed based on a Criminal Investigation Department (CID) report highlighting procedural lapses in the scam investigation. Navtake who was posted as State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) Superintendent in Chandrapur, was booked under sections 120-B, 466, 474, and 201 of the Indian Penal Code.

The alleged scam, dating back to 2015, involved the alleged cheating of numerous individuals through promises of attractive interest on fixed deposits. The Maharashtra Home Department had then directed the Pune Police to register a case based on the CID report. Further investigation is underway in the matter.
