Peter Fernandes and Affected Home Buyers wrote/message to me and others

With the constant & timely intervention of Dr Kirit Somaiya the Belapur Police have finally managed to arrest  Mr Sachin Zendhe the owner of Amrith Infracon Pvt Ltd/ Nisarg Arcade / Nisarg Construction who has cheated many innocent homebuyers to the tune of more than 50crores. There have been several FIRS against Mr Sachin Zendhe.

Dr Kirit Somaiya who is fighting against such fraud developers, held several meetings with the affected homebuyers & Police officials to ensure the strictest action was taken against Mr Sachin Zendhe.

The affected members have been amazed & astonished by efforts put in by Dr Kirit Somaiya & are now seeing a ray of hope in getting their money back or getting justice also they feel our country is safe hands under the BJP regime who are doing all they can to protect the common man

Requesting all affected people of the above projects to come forward & reports the fraud so that such a person is not let loose to cheat other innocent home buyers

We continue to perused the matter of Zende

  • Peter Fernandes inform me….

The consumer forum Alibaug has issued Non Bailable warrant to the Commissioner of Police Navi Mumbai as Sachin Zendhe wasn't produced by Khandeshwar Police station on previous non bailable warrants issued to them.

 

I submitted the above NBW to Commissioner office (see inward no) & EOW dept they say we need to inform Taloja Jailor so if Sachin Zendhe is granted bail in present chargesheet no 148 he can get further arrested & produced at Consumer court Alibaug & further remanded to judicial custody if he doesn't pay up my dues

It is surprising and shocking that Zende had been cheating people since 2010. Cases had been registered against him at various Police Stations including Shivaji Park, Malad, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Pune and Nashik but no serious action had been taken till we took up the issue.

 

Observations:

  • I certainly thanks Shri Sanjay Kumar Navi Mumbai Police Commissioner for taking serious interest and action.
  • Shri Peter Fernandes who himself got cheated by Sachin Zende, his efforts needed to be appreciated inspite of his odd hours of duties/job, consistently he is pursuing the matter with my office, various Police station and Judicial.
  • Hundreds of small investors/home buyers also spend time to fight for justice.
  • DCP Tushar Doshi who took up the issue and registered FIR initially we thanks him.
  • DCP Praveen Patil who took up the issue subsequently has pursued the issue to the logical end, he and his colleague API Shri Jayant Rajurkar and Shri Manoj Tatugade landed to the details arrested Shri Zende, drafted the case in detail and put Shri Zende behind the bar.
  • Shri Sachin Zende is in Taloja Police lockup till today as on 14 Sep 2019

Lesson:

  • Dozens of such fraudulent builders have looted/looting the small investors/home buyers.
  • It is needed that such home buyers must come together and approach the appropriate authorities.
  • Complaints/FIRs needed to be filed and pursued with police and judiciary etc.  We can learn from Shri Peter Fernandes and the home buyers of Sachin Zende Group of companies.
  • We must appreciate the special interest and efforts of Shri Sanjay Kumar, Police Commissioner, Navi Mumbai Police Station to get justice for the small investors and home buyers.
