Gowani, who is also a director of a private land development company, allegedly purchased a project in the Khardanda area of Mumbai but failed to pay the consideration amount of Rs 67.50 crore to the complainant. Despite repeated demands for payment, Gowani ignored the requests, prompting the complainant to approach the EOW and lodge a complaint.
The EOW subsequently registered a case against Gowani under sections 409 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Gowani was summoned for questioning at the EOW office on Tuesday, where he was arrested for his alleged involvement in the cheating case.
This is not the first time Gowani has been in trouble with the law. In the past, he was arrested in connection with a massive blaze that swept through two rooftop pubs in the Kamala Mills compound in central Mumbai on December 29, 2017, killing 14 people.
The arrest of Gowani is a significant development in the case, and the EOW is likely to continue its investigation into the matter.
