A 32-year-old school teacher from Malwani has filed a police complaint after being allegedly defrauded of R11.22 lakh by a long-time friend and her family under the pretext of securing an MHADA flat through "special contacts."
The alleged betrayal
The complainant, Ruksar Sheikh, states she had trusted the prime accused, Safina Sheikh, since their college days in 2013. In April 2024, Safina allegedly convinced Ruksar to invest in a home in Antop Hill or Wadala, claiming she could bypass the official MHADA lottery for a total cost of Rs 25-30 lakh.
