4, Including Ex-Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar, Booked For Acquiring Flats Under SRA Scheme

The case has been registered for alleged cheating and forgery in connection with the acquisition of the flats located in Gomata Janata Slum Rehabilitation Authority society.

New Delhi: Four people, including former Mumbai Mayor and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Kishori Pednekar, have been booked in a cheating case on Saturday, for allegedly acquiring flats built under the Maharashtra government's Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) in suburban Worli. The case has been registered for alleged cheating and forgery in connection with the acquisition of the flats located in Gomata Janata SRA society against Pednekar and three others of a private firm. 

"As per the complaint filed by SRA official Uday Pingle, former mayor Pednekar had acquired a flat, which was in the name of one Gangaram Boga, in the Gomata society. The flat was allotted to Boga in 2008 but Pednekar mentioned it as her property in the 2017 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation polls," a police official said, as quoted by PTI.

The private firm, Kish Corporate Services Pvt Ltd, declared a commercial unit allotted to another person in 2008 as their office, while filing registration documents with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), the official said quoting the FIR.

Another unit too was allegedly taken up by the firm in 2017 in violation of SRA norms, he added.

"A case under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code for cheating and other offences has been registered against Kishori Pednekar, and three others. No arrest has been made so far and the probe is underway," the police official said.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kirit Somaiya shared an FIR copy of the case on Twitter.

"Mumbai Police Nirmal Nagar Bandra East Police Station registered FIR against Kishori Pednekar Family & Kish Corporate Services Pvt Ltd for Fraud Forgery Cheating at Gomata Janata SRA Worli Mumbai," Somaiya tweeted.
