A case of alleged cheating amounting to Rs 23 crore has been registered against Kamala Mills owner Ramesh Govani and directors of Shivam Parivar Developers Pvt Ltd. The FIR, filed on the orders of the Dadar magistrate court, has named Ajit Bhosle, Pramod Bhosle, and Sanjay Bhosle as accused.
The complaint was lodged by Vyoman Infrawest Pvt Ltd and Vyoman India Pvt Ltd, which claimed that in 2013, Govani and the Shivam Parivar directors induced them to invest in a redevelopment project at Parmar Guruji Marg, Parel, with promises of high returns. According to the complainants, investors were assured prime space in the proposed construction at a concessional rate, with the project slated for completion within three to four years.
However, when the investors sought documentation related to their investment in 2018, the accused allegedly failed to provide them. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) later extended the project deadline to December 2021, yet no development took place. The complainants, realizing they had been misled, initially approached the police, but their complaint was reportedly not taken into consideration. Subsequently, they filed a private complaint in December 2024, which led to the court directing the registration of the FIR.
The case has now been taken up for investigation, with further legal proceedings expected in the coming weeks.
