Five Arrested for Land Fraud Involving Deceased Owners' Property in Navi Mumbai
Five individuals were arrested for allegedly impersonating deceased owners to fraudulently sell a 47-guntha plot in Navi Mumbai for Rs 2.29 crore. The land belonged to brothers Nathan and Shalom Eliyahu Chincholkar, who died abroad, with heirs residing overseas. The accused used forged identity documents to execute the sale before the Panvel-I Sub-Registrar. After a five-month interstate manhunt involving multiple states, police apprehended the suspects in Goa. Investigations continue for possible additional conspirators.
