According to the police, a NOC is required from the civil aviation department for construction of buildings in the vicinity of the airport. However, investigation revealed that the accused had forged the NOCs for construction of Reyhaan Terrace by Fairmont Constructions Pvt. Ltd.

An officer from Amboli police station said, "A case under sections 420, 465, 468, 471 and 34 of IPC was registered last year. Primary investigation reveals that the accused had forged the documents. They were also not cooperating with the probe. The sessions court had also rejected their anticipatory bail plea. Search for three absconding accused in the matter is still on. Involvement of government officials cannot be ruled out."
