In an exclusive conversation with Digpu News, Kapil Pashankar talks about the latest developments in the Gautam Pashankar missing case.
The Chairman of Pune’s leading two-wheeler dealership agency in Pune, Pashankar Auto Pvt Ltd, went missing ten days ago on the 21st of October. Gautam Pashankar left a note stating none should be held responsible for his actions.
The note further said that Gautam Pashankar had been suffering losses in business for the last 3 years now and due to his decisions, his family is facing troubles. A missing complaint was also registered at the Shivaji Nagar Police Station, Pune.
In an exclusive conversation with Digpu News, Kapil Pashankar talked at length about the latest developments in the case.
Kapil said,” My father is not a weak-willed man to run away from anything, whatever the circumstances be. He is a strong person who has fought all hurdles and situations in his life. Even in the worst situations, we have held our moral high ground.”
About some severe situations in the past, Kapil remembers,” We are known for our automobile business. In the past, we had suffered some losses but we were never in denial about it. Me and my father, Gautam Pashankar, didn’t deter. We faced people, spoke to the banks and sorted out all the affairs. That’s how we bounced back smoothly.”
Gautam Pashankar‘s son Kapil Pashankar had earlier denied all such claims of any recent business turmoil leading to the incident. However, after taking cognizance of all recent events in his father’s life, Kapil Pashankar named few suspects yesterday in the Gautam Pashankar missing case.
“Now, I see no reason to do this. I work in a different office actually. However, after this incident, I went to my father’s office and tried to understand the intricacies of the situation. It was then that I suspected a few people whom I have named before the Commissioner Of Police recently.”
The Pune Police is working on every possible lead in the Gautam Pashankar missing case. An official in the Shivaji Nagar Police Station said that 5-6 search parties are working on the case tirelessly.
Gautam Pashankar’s son Kapil said, “I have done all that I could have. I have employed all resources I have. I have connected to all relatives, friends, acquaintances, even his school friends. What more can I say?”
He quickly adds,” My father is a simple man. Even if he has left the note himself, which is highly impossible that he has executed this all by himself. He has gone through a lot in his journey to date but he never spoke about it with an open heart. That’s because my father is a man of few words.”
On being asked about the approach of Pune Police to the Gautam Pashankar Missing case, Kapil Pashankar said,” The police is trying their best. The Police Commissioner and the police officer-in-charge of the case have assured me of a positive response.”
Jammu and Kashmir is already deprived of high internet speed. The fact that Airtel has made semi-annual and annual plans a compulsion in the UT only adds insult to injury.
Over 12 month after the Government Of India announced a blanket ban on internet services in Jammu and Kashmir, the Newly formed UT has still no access to high-speed internet.
While the country is getting ready to witness the 5G technology, most parts of the UT of Jammu and Kashmir are still struggling with 2G internet.
While BSNL remains a key player in the broadband service providers in J&K, several local players along with Airtel is trying to amass more subscriptions to its name. This competition comes with its own set of complications.
Airtel Broadband Services In J&K have only rolled out bi-annual and annual subscriptions as yet. The 100 Mbps connection for a bi-annual plan comes at INR 5230 (inclusive of taxes) while the 300 Mbps connection is priced at around INR 6450 (inclusive of taxes). After completion of the first 6 months, one can renew the subscription as per choice. There are monthly plans available after that.
Rajeev (name changed), who was forced to travel to his hometown J&K due to the pandemic says, “I live in a metro city. When flights to the UT were started, I came home. The biggest shock was the slow internet. It was difficult to even check my mails. I enquired on the Airtel and BSNL website. However, I did not get any response from both. Luckily, an acquaintance connected me to the right person from Airtel.”
While people have chosen Airtel over BSNL in most cases due to better speed, but not all can afford the bi-annual subscription in one go. The pandemic has left people struggling to make ends meet. Many people working from their homes and students who are now forced to be glued to their phones for studies are at the crossroads.
In conversation with Digpu News, an Airtel executive requesting anonymity said, “Rolling out only bi-annual and annual subscriptions to a new user is a strategy pushed from the Marketing Team of Airtel. Our services are new in the UT and we are trying to set our foot in the market.”
“Well, you see people are giving in to it because some people can’t compromise with their internet connection because their livelihoods now depend on their work-from-home schedules. We are definitely looking into easing the subscription for our customers, but at the moment, there is nothig else to say about it.”, the executive said.
On being asked about people unable to pay these heavy charges at once, the Executive said,” Earlier we use to charge around INR 80 per metre as the ground charge in addition to the installation charges. Now, there are just installation charges to be paid by the customer. I am sure we will roll out something better for our customers in the new year.”
We hope Airtel rethinks on their marketing strategies and tries to provide some relief to their customers.
