(NewsNibs) - A perpetrator, identified as Imran Meman, has been arrested in Ahmedabad on charges of committing property fraud. Meman is accused of selling a house located in Wadaj's Haridas Colony thrice using fabricated documentation. The property, which belongs to Utpal Amin whose family resides in the United States, was illegally claimed by creating forged papers. Amin's family, unaware of the fraudulent transactions, had left the house in the care of a tenant, Indrajit Raval.
Conspiracy with Tenant
Investigations revealed that Raval colluded with Meman to execute the deceit. Raval initally sold the house to Meman, and subsequent sales were conducted by Meman, including one to an individual named Manoj Shah. The police report suggests that the original owners, Bhogilal and Mohanbhai, sold the property to Utpal Amin's father and uncle in 1956. After their death, ownership of the house transferred to Surendrabhai’s and Vinodbhai’s wife, Sulochanaben.
Ongoing Investigation
The Wadaj Police have apprehended Imran Meman, securing a one-day remand to further their inquiry. They are currently probing the depths of the conspiracy and seeking to ascertain if additional parties were involved in the fraud. Concerns have been raised about the potential for further fraudulent property sales in the area, with the investigation actively looking to uncover any such occurrences.
The police's swift response aims to restore confidence in the local property market and ensure such fraudulent activities are curtailed. As the investigation continues, the authorities are determined to bring all parties involved in this fraudulent scheme to justice and protect the rights of legitimate property owners.
