Mumbai Law Enforcement Files Case Against Builders and False Tenants for Alleged ₹6.11 Crore Housing Authority Tenure Deception, Involving Counterfeit Papers and Misrepresented Invoices
Mumbai: Economic Offences Wing Investigates Massive Fraud Involving Fake MHADA Tenancy Documents
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in Mumbai is currently investigating a significant case of fraud involving forged MHADA tenancy documents, bogus invoices, and registration certificates. The developer, Anwar Ahmed Shaikh, has been cheated out of a staggering sum of over Rs 6.11 crore.
According to the FIR registered at Agripada Police Station, the accused in this case include Nisar Kazi, Mitesh Patel, and four alleged fake tenants. The fraud allegedly took place between April 20, 2021, and November 8, 2023.
Nisar Kazi and Mitesh Patel, without legal authority, collected cash from the developer while avoiding payment of government stamp duty, registration fees, and GST. To deceive the authorities, they posed as genuine tenants using fake MHADA lists, forged bills, and rent receipts.
The four alleged fake tenants, whose names are Riyazuddin Islamuddin Ansari and Najiyabano Riyazuddin Ansari, Mohammad Azim Siddiqui and Mohammad Nazm Anis Ahmed Siddiqui, Rukhsana Salim Supariwala, and Afreen Ali Petiwala and Ali Petiwala, were not the original tenants. They used these fake documents to deceive the authorities and cheat the developer.
The accused also created bogus shop/establishment registration certificates with false signatures of the actual owners. These certificates were used to further the fraudulent activities.
The accused, Nisar Kazi, Mitesh Patel, and the four alleged fake tenants, are charged with cheating, forgery, and criminal conspiracy. The EOW is currently investigating the case and working to bring the accused to justice.
At the time of writing, there is no publicly available verified information about the business partners and relatives of Anwar Ahmed Shaikh involved in the EOW-registered fraud related to fake MHADA lease agreements, fake invoices, and fake registration certificates. The investigation is ongoing, and more details are expected to be revealed in due course.
