Mumbai Court Denies Anticipatory Bail to Former MP Akhtar Rizvi in Property Forgery Case
A Mumbai sessions court denied anticipatory bail to Akhtar Hasan Rizvi, 84, former Rajya Sabha MP and businessman, in a property fraud and forgery case. Rizvi is accused of forging documents from 1978 to claim ownership of a property originally owned by Hajani Noorbibai Kalu, who died in 1971. The prosecution alleges Rizvi used a woman impersonating the deceased to execute a false conveyance deed. The defence argued misuse of Rizvi's signature by an employee and denied any criminal intent or wrongful gain. The court emphasized the need for custodial interrogation to investigate the allegations.
