Mumbai: The Vile Parle Police have registered a legal case towards three administrators of Shamik Enterprises Ltd.—Haresh Sakalchand Hirani, Suresh Pratapchand Hirani, and Sandip Sakalchand Hirani—for allegedly defrauding a 73-year-old resident of Girgaon, Chunnilal Vardhichand Shah, of ₹26.54 crore beneath the pretext of an actual property funding.
In accordance with the FIR, Shah, alongside along with his spouse and sons—Nimit and Mahavir—invested ₹25.59 crore in money and ₹95 lakh through cheque in Shamik Enterprises Ltd. between 2011 and 2018. The funding was made with the reassurance of receiving 4 residential flats within the firm’s Hirani Villa challenge positioned in Vile Parle, Mumbai.
The accused allegedly did not return the invested quantity and didn’t switch the possession of 4 promised flats, which was being developed by their firm. This has resulted in an alleged monetary fraud amounting to ₹26.54 crore.
Initially, Shah shunned submitting a grievance resulting from private and familial ties with the accused. Nonetheless, after repeated delays and no decision, he lodged a proper grievance. Based mostly on the grievance, the Vile Parle Police registered a case on June 16, beneath Sections 406, 409, 420, and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
