Mumbai Developer Booked in ₹80 Lakh Real Estate Fraud; Flat Already Sold to Third Party
Mumbai 17 th February: On the basis of the Complaint filed by Dubai based Investor Fazila Aqeel Mukhi The Oshiwara Police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the directors of M/S Admire Revive Builder and Developer for allegedly defrauding Dubai based homebuyer of ₹80 lakh in a high-profile redevelopment project.
The complainant, Fazila Aqueel Mukhi, a resident of Yamuna Nagar, alleges that the developers failed to deliver a flat in the Royal Green SRA Residential Project despite receiving full payment nearly a decade ago.
The ₹80 Lakh Deception
According to the formal complaint, the ordeal began when Mukhi and her husband were introduced to the developer, Sameer Bhube, by an intermediary named Mohammad Virani. The couple reportedly paid a total of ₹80,00,000/-—consisting of ₹45 lakh via bank transfer and an additional ₹35 lakh in cash handed to Virani.
In a meeting held at a Bandra cafe in late 2023, Bhube reportedly acknowledged the receipt of these funds and promised to hand over the keys to Flat No. 1102 within 15 days. To further incentivize the deal, the developers promised a parking space valued at ₹7 lakh.
A Project Sold Twice
The fraud came to light when the complainant conducted an independent verification via the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) website.
”Upon checking RERA records (Registration No. P51800002086), I was shocked to find that the flat promised to us had already been sold to another individual, a Mr. Sameer Walchand Jain, back in 2019,” the complainant stated in her deposition.
When confronted in January 2025 at his Borivali office, Bhube allegedly admitted to selling the property to his Chartered Accountant (Jain) to mitigate a financial crisis, but assured the couple he would vacate the property and grant them possession by May 2025.
Broken Promises and Bounced Checks
The situation escalated when post-dated checks issued by the firm as “compensation rent” for the delay were dishonored by the bank. A final settlement meeting on January 5, 2026, yielded no results, after which the developers reportedly ceased all communication.

Sameer Bhube,Umro Mohammad Sharif Khan, Jan Sharafat Khan
