Two Years, No Homes! Allegations Against Ramesh Kashiram Kamble, Dispute Over Shop Possession, Unpaid Money and Threats Raise Serious Questions About Police Action
MUMBAI | SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE REPORT
A serious alleged housing fraud case has surfaced in Mumbai, where approximately ₹70 lakh was reportedly collected from three individuals on the promise of arranging homes under the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA).
According to the allegations made by the concerned parties, Ramesh Kashiram Kamble promised to arrange MHADA homes within six months. However, nearly two years have passed, and the affected individuals claim that neither have they received their promised homes nor have they received their entire money back.
The case has also left Sohail Khan facing considerable financial difficulties. Khan claims that he trusted Kamble and provided his valuable shop as a guarantee to assure the other individuals that their money would be safe.
₹70 Lakh Allegedly Collected From Three Individuals
According to the information provided by the affected parties, the payments included:
- Baban Valmiki – ₹23 lakh.
- Asiya Sayyed – ₹20 lakh.
- A third individual – part of the total amount, which is reported to be approximately ₹70 lakh.
The complainants allege that the money was collected after assurances that MHADA homes would be arranged within six months.
The most serious allegation is that Ramesh Kashiram Kamble allegedly presented himself as a person connected with MHADA. Whether he actually held any official position or authority within MHADA is a matter that requires verification by the concerned authorities.
Sohail Khan Put His Valuable Shop as a Guarantee
Sohail Khan reportedly assured the individuals that he trusted Ramesh Kamble and that the promised homes would be delivered.
To support this assurance, Khan allegedly offered his shop in the Cuffe Parade area, reportedly valued at approximately ₹1 crore, as a guarantee.
When the promised homes were not delivered, Khan claims that he was forced to sell his shop to arrange repayments and reduce the financial burden on the affected individuals.
Shop Sold to Narayan Singh Rajput – ₹9.30 Lakh Still Disputed
According to Sohail Khan, his shop was sold to Narayan Singh Rajput for approximately ₹80 lakh.
However, Khan alleges that ₹9.30 lakh from the sale consideration remains unpaid.
The outstanding payment has reportedly created further difficulties for Khan, who says he needs the money to repay Asiya Sayyed.
The sale agreement, payment receipts, bank records and possession documents should be examined to establish the actual financial position.
Baban Valmiki Allegedly Refuses to Vacate the Shop Despite Cheque Payments
Sohail Khan claims that he arranged repayment of Baban Valmiki’s ₹23 lakh through cheques.
According to Khan, ₹15 lakh has been cleared through a cheque, while another post-dated cheque remains part of the disputed payment arrangement.
Khan alleges that despite these payment arrangements, Baban Valmiki has not handed over possession of the shop and continues demanding money.
He further alleges that he has faced verbal abuse, physical confrontation and threats to his life.
These allegations require proper investigation, including examination of bank transactions, cheque records, shop ownership documents and possession agreements.
Asiya Sayyed Still Awaiting ₹10 Lakh
Ashia Sayyed reportedly paid ₹20 lakh in the hope of receiving a MHADA home.
According to Sohail Khan, ₹10 lakh has been returned, while the remaining ₹10 lakh is still outstanding.
Khan claims that once he receives the pending ₹9.30 lakh from Narayan Singh Rajput, he intends to return Asiya Sayyed’s remaining amount.
The situation has left Asiya Sayyed waiting for her money while Sohail Khan himself claims to be caught between multiple financial disputes.
Serious Allegations of Threats at Cuffe Parade Police Station
Sohail Khan has alleged that when he approached Cuffe Parade Police Station to seek assistance, Baban Valmiki threatened him and created a confrontation inside the police station premises.
Khan claims that despite approaching the police, appropriate action has not been taken on his allegations.
The police administration should examine the relevant complaints, CCTV footage, witness statements and available evidence to establish what actually happened.
If the allegations of threats, intimidation or assault are substantiated, appropriate legal action should be taken.
Eight Important Questions That Demand Answers
- Did Ramesh Kashiram Kamble actually have any official connection with MHADA?
- On what basis was approximately ₹70 lakh collected from the individuals?
- Why have the promised homes allegedly not been delivered even after nearly two years?
- Where did the money collected from the affected individuals go?
- What is the status of the outstanding ₹9.30 lakh from the shop sale?
- Why is the dispute over the shop’s possession continuing?
- Have the alleged threats and physical confrontation been properly investigated?
- What action has Cuffe Parade Police taken on the complaints submitted by Sohail Khan?
Demand for Fair Investigation and Justice
The concerned parties are seeking a fair and impartial investigation into the entire matter.
The authorities should:
- Investigate the allegations against Ramesh Kashiram Kamble and verify his claimed connection with MHADA.
- Examine the complete financial transactions involving approximately ₹70 lakh.
- Verify the cheque payments and refund claims involving Baban Valmiki and Asiya Sayyed.
- Investigate the allegations of threats, intimidation and physical confrontation.
- Examine the shop sale agreement and the alleged outstanding amount involving Narayan Singh Rajput.
- Take appropriate legal action wherever offences are established.
- Help ensure that the genuine financial claims of the affected individuals are addressed through lawful procedures.
Mumbaikars, Beware of Housing Fraud!
This case serves as an important warning to people hoping to obtain homes through MHADA or other government housing schemes.
People should never hand over lakhs of rupees to agents, middlemen or individuals merely on the basis of verbal promises or claims of government connections.
Always verify the person’s identity, official authority, allotment documents and payment procedures directly with the concerned government department.
A promise of a government home is not proof of a genuine allotment.
One person’s alleged deception can destroy the financial security of several families.
The Big Question: When Will the Affected People Get Justice?
The central issue remains the alleged collection of approximately ₹70 lakh in the name of MHADA housing and the failure to deliver the promised homes.
Sohail Khan claims that trusting Ramesh Kashiram Kamble forced him to sell his valuable shop to meet repayment demands. Meanwhile, Asiya Sayyed is reportedly awaiting ₹10 lakh, and disputes involving Baban Valmiki and Narayan Singh Rajput remain unresolved.
Will the police conduct a thorough investigation? Will the allegations against Ramesh Kashiram Kamble be examined? Will the disputed shop possession and outstanding payments be resolved?
