MUMBAI:
Land-grabbing can't get more brazen than this. A gardener's two sons gained
possession of a plush Carmichael Road bungalow in the absence of its NRI owner
and then sold it by forging documents.
Mumbai police have now
launched a hunt for the duo who were assisted by a security guard of the same
property.
The bungalow, named
Horramzad Villa, is a sprawling 4,000-square-feet-plus property worth crores.
The land-grab came to light when the original owner, an NRI businessman Rustom
Sam Boyce, returned from Singapore in August this year.
He had received a call from a
friend in Mumbai who informed him that his bungalow was undergoing a renovation.
Boyce immediately flew down to check and got a shock. He was told by the guards
that the property was now owned by Sanjeev singh
Chaddha.
