The complaint was filed by the man's son, Dr Yogesh Dube, 52, and the Kasturba Marg police registered an FIR. Key accused is Girish Dube, the deceased's other son. The firm has its office in Dube House.

Dr Dube, a resident of Carter Road, Borivali, is known for heading organisations like Sahitya Ganga (a literary portal/magazine for arts, culture & literature). He has alleged that his father's lawful share in partnership assets and profits was illegally diverted. He has alleged that his father was never paid his partnership capital or rights in property.
