The accused, Jayesh Shah, Ketan Shah, Gaurav Shah, and Bhavya Shah, have been charged under Sections 406 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating), and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
According to the police, the complainant, Ashish Kumar Jha, a 43-year-old from Powai, had paid Rs 68.1 lakh to book a flat with the builders in 2012. However, the builders kept delaying the project and asked for more money, claiming they would adjust it in other projects.
Despite multiple attempts to establish contact with them, Jha has neither received a flat nor had any property registered. The police have now registered the case based on his complaint.
Interestingly, one of the partners, Jayesh Shah, was previously linked to gangster Chhota Shakeel and was booked along with him and his brothers-in-law for allegedly threatening a developer in October 2022.
The Mumbai crime branch had booked the gangster and his associates for demanding Rs 5 crore and 50,000 square feet of land from a vintage article dealer and a developer from South Mumbai. The gangster's associate had threatened violence if the demands were not met.
Ravi Group is a real estate company mainly operating in Mira Road and with an office in Kandivali.
