Dear Shri Krishnmunj Rao

Mumbai

 Received your draft press release on cheating by Vardhaman Sanskar Dham by mail on 13/02/2017

 Our rebuttal is as under  :

     It is factually wrong that the Trust has sold the flat situated at Bldg RN. 7 Flat No.103 to Mr. Jethmalji  Sonigra  for Rs 13.19 Lakhs. The letter dated 12/04/2011  referred by you as a first letter head/ receipt of the Trust clearly shows that Mr. Sonigra had paid for purchase of the flat is not a receipt, It is only a  letter issued by our Virar branch to different Jain trust including Navjivan Jain Swetamber Murtipujak Sangh, Lamington Road, Mumbai. (acknowledgment stamp is clearly evident on the letter )  This letter was issued to support Mr. Sonigra for collection of fund to enable him to purchase a flat at Rajiv Nagar Complex. In this complex our Trust has financially supported around  250 families for app.300 lakhs to purchase a flat by interest free loan.

      It is our Virar branch’s effort to settle Mr. Sonigra at Rajiv Nagar, for which they had appeal to various Trust and we have also received Fund  from them and amount was credited to Mr. Sonigra’s  account at that time, we have also given  possession of our  flat.  So flat no is mentioned accordingly, in this letter they have also mentioned that our Trust will help up to Rs. 150000/- to Mr. Sonigra for purchase the flat, This was our sincere effort to settle Mr. Sonigra at Rajiv Nagar Complex as per his wish.

       The letter dated 14/03/2012 issued by our Head Office is as under

 We are in possession of flat no 103/E Nairut building of Rajivnagar,Virar, Mr.Jethumal Sonigra is a Blind jain Sadharmik and requires an accommodation. We have received Rs.1319000/-as a deposit from him. Against this we have hand over the possession said flat no 103 to him for residence purpose.

It is very important that Mr.Sonigra has accepted this letter without any objection or issue at that time it means it is acceptable to him and never complain until 4 year

    During the period of 4 years whenever Mr. Sonigra approach us for purchase of flat as price was increase and he required more support we never refuse, as earlier our Trustee late Shri Subhash Malde has helped a lot and supported him to purchase flat at Agasi-virar also, our members and donor has supported Mr. Sonigra regularly as he was blind and associated with our religious activity. It is evident that even in May / June 2016 he requested us for help we have given Rs.25000/- by cheque on 03/06/2016 to him.  So our relation are good, there is no question of passing the buck at one another, even our Trustee Mr. Jyotish Kuvadia has offer his flat situated at complex, which was bigger than existent  flat for purchase but Mr. Sonigra has refused.

      Vardhman Sanskar Dham is charitable trust which has its own fame in helping people in need, has around 10 flat at Nairut building which are for socio-Religious activities carried out by local resident.

      It is factually wrong that our Trust holding 30 or more flats in surrounding area in Virar.  whatever property we hold that was only at Rajiv Nagar Complex developed by us and for the benefit of local resident, only one flat which is hold by trustee Mr. Jyotish Kuvadia which was directly purchase from builder, non of trustee holding any property at Rajivnagar complex,

     Our Trust is registered Charitable Trust whatever we have done that is for the benefit of all the middle class Jain family at Rajiv Nagar, we have always helped Mr. Sonigra,  will do in future also.

 For VARDHAMAN SANSKAR DHAM
