Bollywood
actress
Shilpa
Shetty's
mother
Sunanda
has
registered
a
complaint
of
cheating
and
forgery
here
against
a
property
agent
in
a
Rs
1.6
crore
land
deal
in
adjoining
Raigad
district,
a
police
official
said
on
Thursday.
According
to
the
official,
the
case
was
registered
against
the
accused,
Sudhakar
Ghare,
on
Wednesday
at
the
Juhu
Police
station
in
suburban
Mumbai
on
directions
of
a
city
court.
The
accused
allegedly
forged
documents
to
claim
that
the
land
in
question
was
in
his
name
and
executed
the
Rs
1.6
crore
deal
with
Sunanda
Shetty,
he
said,
quoting
from
the
complaint.
However,
when
the
fraud
came
to
light,
Sunanda
Shetty
asked
Ghare
to
return
her
money,
but
he
failed
to
do
so,
the
official
said.
He
has
been
charged
under
relevant
sections
of
the
Indian
Penal
Code,
he
said.
A
senior
inspector
from
the
Juhu
Police
station
confirmed
registration
of
the
case,
but
said
no
arrest
has
been
made
and
further
investigation
was
underway.
During
initial
probe,
the
police
found
the
matter
is
two
years
old
when
Sunanda
Shetty
had
purchased
the
relevant
land
in
Karjat
taluka,
around
100km
from
Mumbai,
from
Ghare.
Using
forged
papers,
the
accused
had
claimed
the
land
belonged
to
him
and
fraudulently
sold
the
property
to
the
complainant,
police
said.
When
the
complainant
learnt
about
it,
she
immediately
asked
Ghare
to
return
the
money.
When
he
failed
to
do
so,
Sunanda
Shetty
approached
the
local
court
seeking
its
intervention
for
registration
of
a
case,
they
said.
The
incident
has
come
at
a
time
when
Shilpa
Shetty
is
in
limelight
following
the
arrest
of
her
husband,
businessman
Raj
Kundra,
in
connection
with
alleged
production
of
pornographic
films.
