The probe centres on two cases filed in Manpada and Dombivali police stations alleging that MahaRERA norms were obtained for at least 65 projects by submitting fabricated documents, which resulted in KDMC being cheated of several crore rupees by way of development taxes, the official said.

A petition regarding these irregularities is also pending in the Bombay High Court, Ghodke informed.

Land owners, developers, contractors and agents are being probed in the case, he said.
