Mumbai Police Register FIR in Hospital Lease Fraud Involving Six DoctorsPreviousNext

Six doctors in Mumbai were allegedly defrauded of nearly Rs 40 lakh by a couple who promised to lease them property in Malad for a hospital. The accused, Pawan and Urmila Bairagara, claimed ownership of the premises but later revealed it was mortgaged. After receiving only Rs 10 lakh back, the doctors filed a complaint five years later. The Charkop police have registered an FIR and are investigating the case, including possible similar frauds by the couple.
