Samir Kochhar, in his complaint, claimed that the individuals pretended to sell apartments and deceived him of ₹58.50 lakhs. It also stated that his friend Varun Baangera was cheated of ₹44.66 lakhs.
The case was filed on October 21, 2023, at Andheri police station in Mumbai and involves charges under sections 409 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating and dishonesty), and 120 (B) (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code.
According to the FIR, Samir Kochhar, a businessman in JVPD, Andheri West, and his wife and friend Varun Bangera were searching for properties in December 2020 when they met a couple, Pronit Nath and Amisha Nath. They then presented the Kochhar couple and Bangera with their plan of constructing a four-floor building in Pali Village.
They then decided to buy a flat on their property on the assurance that the land was free of loans. The payment was made with cheques however, later it was discovered that the property had a loan against it and that Nath had mortgaged the land with a financial company.
Despite their regular follow-ups on the construction status, Nath reassured them on June 3, 2022, that the building would be finished within three months. However, matters took an unexpected turn on June 23, 2023, when Nath conveyed through WhatsApp messages that they were not to sell the property and would keep it for themselves. This came as a surprise to the Kochhar couple and Bangera.
The FIR was lodged after Ntah's message, where he mentioned that he had already entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to sell the property to another party. In an attempt to enforce the MOU, Kochhar approached the High Court, seeking directions for Nath to proceed with the agreement.
On July 26, Justice Kamal Khata issued a restraining order, preventing Nath from selling the flat to a third party. Nath's contested the decision before a division bench of the High Court, but on October 5, the bench led by Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya declined to overturn the single judge's order, prohibiting Nath from transferring ownership of the disputed flat.
