If the contractor is released, the 'prosecution will suffer a lot', says court; arrested on August 25 after high court order
In an interesting turn to an alleged fraud case, a real estate contractor who approached the Khar police against his partner became an accused himself and was arrested.
Notably, the sessions court recently refused to even grant him bail, observing that the investigation has revealed that he, in fact, cheated 35 people with fake documents. The court said that if the contractor, Syed Abi Ahmed, 53, is released, the “prosecution will suffer a lot”.
Ahmed was arrested on August 25 on the direction of the Bombay High Court. As per the prosecution case, he had filed a complaint against Peer Mohammad Shaikh alias Babu and Babu's sister Karima Mujid Shaikh alias Lady Don.
