According to the police, the fraud had been carried out since 2017 when the accused fabricated permits from the Thane Municipal Corporation and presented it to the authorities to register flats in the building, he said.

There was a complaint that the accused had forged records to obtain permission and the same was referred to the town development department for verification.

The probe revealed that the office had never issued any such permit to the accused, the official said.
