The complaint has been lodged with the Amboli Police StationThe complaint was filed by Bhatts legal counsel, Advocate Rizwan Siddiquee. The complaint filed by him through his lawyer emphasises the “serious nature” of the accuseds offence.In addition to numerous other civil and criminal cases, including a private criminal defamation lawsuit before the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate, he declared that the renowned filmmaker would file a quashing application before the Honble High Court.The complaint describes how the accused took advantage of a faked and forged document, misled the Learned Magistrate at the Andheri Court, and utilised Section 156(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) to his advantage.Advocate Rizwan Siddiquee stated, “It is absolutely true that my client has filed a criminal complaint before the Amboli Police station against (1) Satish Ramswroop Panchariya (2) Karishma Bhupendra Rattanshi (3) Vikrant Parvez Anand and (4) Amar Thakkar, for plotting and conspiring with each other and for committing serious cognizable and non-bailable offences of cheating, criminal misappropriation of funds, criminal breach of trust, forgery, and defamation. The criminal complaint made before the Police by my client is serious because it also covers the part where the accused persons used a forged and fabricated document to mislead the Learned Magistrate at Andheri Court and obtain a favourable Order under Section 156(3) CrPC.”“Also, from the complaint, it appears that the accused persons had malafidely and mischievously concealed the fact from the Learned Magistrate that they had replaced the original untenable complaint dated 22.11.2022 with another new complaint dated 17.03.2023 after forging a document to strengthen their baseless complaint. The matter needs to be investigated in detail so that the truth can be brought out.” “As my client had to bear the brunt of these unwarranted actions, therefore he will not only be filing a quashing application before the Honble High Court, but also he shall simultaneously be filing various other civil and criminal proceedings including, and not limited to, a private criminal defamation case before the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate,” he added.
