On the heels of Anti-Corruption Bureau filing a charge sheet against NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal and his family members, police in Navi Mumbai today submitted another charge sheet, concerning a real estate project, against his son Pankaj, nephew and former MP Sameer and three others.
Yesterday the state Anti-Corruption Bureau had filed a voluminous charge sheet against Chhagan Bhujbal (who was PWD minister in the previous government), Pankaj, Sameer and 14 others in the Maharashtra Sadan scam case.
The latest one is about cheating of flat-buyers, according to a senior IPS officer of Navi Mumbai police.
Taloja police had in last June registered an FIR and Navi Mumbai Economic Offences Wing of police took over the case later.
Pankaj, Sameer and others are charged with cheating, criminal conspiracy and criminal breach of trust under IPC and under Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act.
The case involves an amount of Rs 44 crore and concerns 2,300 people who had booked flats in the project 'Hex World' in Kharghar area, promoted by Devisha Infrastructure, a company owned by Bhujbals, by paying 10 per cent advance.
The company took the bookings in 2010. But the work didn't start, so a group of some 30 buyers approached a court over the delay which led to registration of FIR.
