Mumbai Police Investigate Multiple Alleged Frauds in SRA Housing Projects
Two separate cases of alleged fraud involving Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) housing projects in Mumbai have emerged. Actor Satish Naikodi claims he was cheated of nearly Rs 25 lakh by a firm promising an SRA flat in Santacruz, with no possession given despite payments. In another case, two men were arrested after duping siblings of over Rs 77 lakh by falsely selling two flats in an SRA project in Malad, using forged documents. Police investigations are ongoing in both matters.
