Mahindra XUV700 Delivery Through False Identity
The Mahindra XUV700 page on Instagram shows the image of the first delivery of the SUV to a certain Mohanish Gandhi. However, if you run the numberplate seen in the image on the Vahan app, the owner comes out to be someone named Aditya Prakash Jakhete. Incidentally, he happens to be the director of Mahindra dealership by the name of Salasar Autocrafts Pvt Ltd. in Thane. This is very strange considering the Govt controlled Vahan shows the false name of the owner. Things get really suspect here. Could it be a case of false identity just to get the first Mahindra XUV700 or something deeper than that? We don’t know yet. However, it also refers to the lengths people are willing to go to, to own the XUV700. But this is not fair to the thousands waiting to own the SUV. We shall see how things pan out in times to come.
