SIT arrests 10 individuals in Kalyan Dombivli RERA scam

The Special Investigation Team (SIT), set up by Thane Police Commissioner has arrested 10 people involved in the Kalyan Dombivli RERA scam. The SIT had booked 65 developers in the case but was yet to make any arrests. A key witness recorded his statement in front of the Judge earlier this week, allowing the police to move ahead with arrests.

The ten arrested so far are Rahul Navsagare, Kailash Gavde, Priyanka Raorane, Jaideep Tribhuvan, Praveen Tamhankar, Mukund Milind Datar, Rajat Rajan, Rajesh Raghunath Patil, Sunil Balaram Madvi and Aashu Laksham Mungesh. SIT officials say more arrests are likely to occur in the coming weeks.

The builders have been accused of forging and falsifying documents to obtain RERA certificates to construct and sell properties. They constructed buildings of five to seven stories, some of which are currently being occupied by flat buyers. These actions have caused revenue losses for the KDMC along with duping honest customers who paid money to purchase these illegal flats. The scam has revealed multiple gaps in communication between government departments and corruption within its institutions.
