Logistics firm staffer held after phone records expose staged Rs70L gold robbery
Pune: Discrepancies in phone location and records exposed a Mumbai-based logistic firm staffer's lie as the Bund Garden police arrested him and cracked a Rs70-lakh robbery in front of Pune railway station on June 11. The police are searching for his two aides in Rajasthan and Delhi. The robbed gold ornaments, the arrested staffer said, were with the duo. The police established that the robbery was an insider's job after the staffer gave inconsistent replies. He claimed that two men threatened him at gunpoint. Discrepancies in the staffer's phone location and records, after he narrated the sequence of the robbery to the police, exposed his lie. Senior inspector Ravindra Gaikwad of the Bund Garden police said, "We arrested Dharmesh Prabhulal Rebari (19) of Rajsamand in Rajasthan. We have identified his two accomplices, both childhood friends. Dharmesh moved to Mumbai about one-and-a-half years ago. Many employees of the logistic company are from Rajsamand. Dharmesh joined the company with their reference with a monthly salary of Rs14,000." He said, "We checked the CCTV footage of the spot and realised that the two men approached Dharmesh near the prepaid autorickshaw stand. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Air conditioners without external unit.

When the duo fled after robbing the jewellery, his phone and ID cards, he did not raise an alarm. The CCTV footage shows him moving around the Pune station area. After three hours, he reached the logistics company's Somwar Peth office and informed his office colleagues about the robbery. His colleagues then informed the Mumbai office. An Andheri-based manager came to Pune and lodged a complaint with us." The officer said, "We arrested Dharmesh after some intense grilling, during which he confessed to committing the crime with his two aides, now on the run somewhere in Rajasthan or Delhi. Our teams have gone to Rajasthan and Delhi in their search. The duo not only took the gold jewellery weighing 740 grams but also took Dharmesh's ID cards, PAN card and his cellphone." Gaikwad said, "Dharmesh and the two others were using a social media site to communicate with each other. They did not use the normal calling facility or messaging applications to communicate. The two suspects came to Pune and stayed at Kasarsai near Hinjewadi, from where they reached the Pune railway station area as decided." The police said the firm staffer confessed to plotting the robbery with his two aides after he arrived in Pune by train to distribute the gold ornaments as usual among the jewellers in the city.

Flat sale agreement not must for relief under real estate law: MREAT
MUMBAI : The MREAT in recent judgment set aside a MahaRERA order of 2020, which denied relief to a buyer, for non-delivery of a flat by a developer, by stating that there was no registered agreement for sale. The tribunal directed the promoter to refund the amount paid by the Andheri-based allottee along with interest. Allottee Stanley Saldanha, who was represented by advocate Anil D' Souza, had booked a flat in Aug 2013 in an IndiaBulls project at Panvel and had paid a sum of over Rs 26 lakh. Due to the slow pace of the construction and delay in handover of possession of the flat, the allottee sought to withdraw from the project in 2019. However, the developer sought to deduct cancellation charges and forfeit a part of the paid amount, when the allottee demanded an exit. The MREAT said that the MahaRERA order by chairman Gautam Chatterjee, had erred in holding that provisions of Section 18 of the Act will not apply in the absence of a registered agreement for sale. In this case, a detailed booking application form existed, which is running into around 26 pages long and the contents of the booking application reflect the agreed positions of the parties, which are akin to an agreement for sale. MREAT pointed out that the agreement need not be in writing and any other document containing requisite contents of the agreement will suffice. Besides, intentions of parties matter more and not the nomenclature of transaction instruments, it said. The Tribunal had earlier held that even the MOU may be considered as a valid instrument for the purpose of provisions of section 18 of the Act. According to MREAT, linking possession delivery dates with occupation dates in this case is legally not sustainable. The MREAT stated that the promoter had violated the provision of Section 11 (3) of the Act by not writing and intimating a specific possession date and also the stage wise project construction at the time of booking. The MREAT also pointed out that there is no express provision in the Act, which shows that a promoter is entitled to forfeit earnest amounts or any other amount of certain quantum in the event of cancellation of booking on the part of either party.

Andheri scrap dealer booked for evading ₹111 cr in sales tax
MUMBAI: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai police has booked an Andheri-based scrap dealer for allegedly evading ₹111.03 crore in sales tax between 2012 and 2016. The first information report (FIR) was registered at the Amboli police station on Saturday based on a complaint by Dr Atul Ghusale, deputy commissioner of Sales Tax, Mumbai, said EOW officers. According to the police, Dr Ghusale had submitted a written complaint in December 2024 against two top executives of STC Global Metal Private Limited, which had its office in Veera Desai Road in Andheri West. The executives were Imran Vahevaria, the firm's managing director, and Senhila Imran Vahevaria, a director of the firm. The Vahevarias had registered their scrap import and export business under the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act and the Central Sales Tax Act and they subsequently defaulted on sales tax payments for the assessment years 2012-13 to 2015-16. 'As per the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, tax dues must be cleared within 30 days. The sales tax department had served several notices to the Vahevarias and approached the EOW after it failed to recover the dues,' said a police officer. The two executives of the firm have been booked under section 74 of the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, the officer noted. The sales tax department has intimated the EOW that they were unable to locate the two executives despite serving multiple notices, said an EOW officer. 'The accused caused a loss of ₹111 crore to the state government by not paying the dues. We have just registered the offence and are searching for them,' said the officer. The sales tax department has seized some bank accounts of the accused and could seize other assets if the dues are not cleared, said police.
