A significant property registration fraud case has surfaced at the Joint Sub-Registrar Office, Haveli No. 20, located in Dattanagar, Ambegaon, where authorities allege that forged government documents were used to register 22 sale deeds. The case has prompted a detailed police investigation into what is suspected to be an organised document forgery network linked to multiple real estate transactions.

According to the complaint, the accused allegedly submitted fabricated development permissions, commencement certificates and occupancy certificates purportedly issued by the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) and the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). These documents were reportedly used to facilitate the registration of sale deeds despite their alleged lack of authenticity.

Based on the evidence submitted to the Sub-Registrar’s Office, the Ambegaon Police have registered a case against several developers, construction firm partners, landowners and other associated individuals. The FIR also mentions firms including Sai Swaraj Developers, Shivay Associates, Shri Venkatesh Developer, Shri Developers, and Rajlaxmi Developers and Builders in connection with the investigation.

Officials stated that the alleged fraud came to light after a complaint supported by documentary evidence was submitted to the Joint Sub-Registrar Office. Preliminary scrutiny of the documents reportedly raised serious concerns regarding their authenticity, leading authorities to refer the matter for police action.

Investigators are now examining the complete chain of documentation, including the origin of the alleged forged permissions and certificates, the role of the individuals involved, and whether similar methods were used in additional property transactions. Authorities are also verifying records with the concerned civic agencies to determine the extent of the alleged forgery.

Police have clarified that the investigation is at a preliminary stage, and the allegations will be examined based on documentary evidence and forensic verification of the records. Further action will depend on the findings of the ongoing probe.
