Mumbai Region Police Register Three FIRs Over Alleged Investment and Property Frauds

Police say investigators are using Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita provisions to probe social‑engineering tactics behind the complaints.

Overview

  • Thane police booked Nitesh Prajapati and his wife of Kashimira after investors reported losing Rs 10.50 lakh on promised share‑market returns, including Rs 5 lakh from one complainant.
  • Police say the couple posed as seasoned stock investors and later refused to return funds, claiming trading losses.
  • Mahim police named Sarfaraz Peerzade and Viraj Churi in an FIR alleging they took Sabina Sharif Shiekh’s property documents, had her sign undisclosed papers at the Worli Registrar, and misused them.
  • The Mahim complaint records a room shown as purchased in her name from Kamru Bahuda Jabbar Khan and then sold to Sooraj Estate Developers, with no arrests reported so far.
  • In a separate filing, Kashigaon police accused a Jogeshwari real‑estate agent and his wife of cheating a Mira Road woman of Rs 32.83 lakh with a false MHADA‑flat promise in Kandivali, booking them under BNS sections for cheating, breach of trust, forgery, and conspiracy.
