Mumbai: In a shocking incident, an attempt to illegally reoccupy three flats reserved for project-affected persons has come to light at the Shivshahi Rehabilitation Project in Maharashtra Nagar, Mankhurd. The Trombay police have registered a case against three individuals, including a 47-year-old woman, for illegal trespass and occupation.

According to the FIR, the complainant, Prasad Popat Doke, 33, serves as an Assistant Security Officer in the M-East Ward of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

The Shivshahi Rehabilitation Project comprises around 2,330 flats handed over by MHADA to the BMC in 2012 for rehabilitation purposes. Of these, 2,138 flats have already been allotted. Recently, between February 16 and 18, authorities had evicted illegal occupants from several units and sealed 20 flats under police protection.
