The Mumbai Police cracked down on illegal trading of homes intended for those affected by the city's airport expansion project, resulting in a significant arrest.
At a recent function in Andheri, local MLA Dilip Landge distributed keys to 53 flats meant for project-affected persons (PAPs). However, some recipients were found to have illegally sold their flats immediately after receiving the keys, violating the rule that prohibits the sale or transfer of such properties for at least 10 years.
Prompted by informants, the police conducted a raid and arrested 12 individuals on the spot. Additionally, they charged over 53 people involved in buying and selling these flats, including some ineligible individuals. Fake documents were uncovered during the operation, leading to charges of cheating, forgery, breach of trust, and criminal conspiracy against the offenders. Authorities are currently pursuing 40 individuals who fled the scene.
The crackdown extended to a private banquet hall in SakiNaka, where over 400 people had gathered. Police, accompanied by MMRDA officials, intervened to prevent further illegal activities related to housing distribution.
A police spokesperson highlighted the importance of verifying eligibility for allocated flats, as some individuals apprehended during the operation failed to produce the necessary documentation. Furthermore, it was discovered that some eligible individuals were involved in the unlawful sale of flats, resulting in their arrest.
The saga highlights the challenges faced in properly distributing housing intended for displaced residents. For instance, 18,222 flats were constructed in Kurla a decade ago to house around 15,000 individuals affected by the expansion of the Mumbai airport. However, delays in relocating residents from Airports Authority of India (AAI) premises have left these flats unoccupied.
