Builder's son denies allegations made by father

Days after the real estate developer Shabbir Patel wrote to the Thane police saying that his son Shadaab filed false and frivolous cases against him to extort money, the latter today rubbished the allegations.
"Allegation that I filed false and frivolous cases against Shabbir Patel is factually incorrect because if they were false, they would have been dismissed (by the courts) by now and interim orders would not have been passed in my favour," Shadaab told reporters here.
"I am in the process of filing a defamation suit against Shabbir Patel of Oscar Builders and his legal advisers for making derogatory and defamatory statements," he added.

The row comes in the wake of an alleged property deal where the yesteryear Bollywood actress Mamata Kulkarni was said to have bought houses in a residential complex owned by Oscar Builders.
Kulkarni had allegedly bought the flats on behalf of her alleged husband Vicky Goswami, a drug mafia. Both are reportedly living outside India.
"According to reports, the deals are said to have been made in 1994, with my signatures when I was only 14-years-old. I was not mature enough to sign property documents then," Shadaab said.

Shabbir, facing allegations of links with Goswami, had recently written a letter to Thane Police Commissioner Parambir Singh rejecting the charge that he had any link with Kulkarni and Goswami. In the same letter he also accused his own son of habitually filing false cases against him.

Goswami was in news recently with a major drug racket bust by Thane police.
Shabbir had said while he had sold the flats to Kulkarni in 1994, she was not married at the time, and Kulkarni and her mother had bought the flats through cheques.
