Mumbai: A 69-year-old retired man has lodged a complaint with Tardeo Police alleging he was duped of nearly ₹9.8 lakh by three individuals who promised to secure him a MHADA flat.
Details of the Alleged Fraud
According to the FIR, the complainant, Vitthal Maruti Shinde, a resident of Virar, alleged that the accused – Rutuja alias Suvarna Modak of Sewree, Vineet Pawar of Parel, and Rajesh Tiwari of Sewree– conspired together and took a total of ₹13.10 lakh from him between 2021 and 2022 under the pretext of arranging a MHADA house in Mumbai.
Partial Refund and Ongoing Investigation
However, after failing to deliver on their promise, the accused allegedly returned only ₹3.30 lakh to Shinde to prevent him from initiating legal action. The remaining ₹9.80 lakh was never refunded.
