Address:

Thane, Maharashtra

I the undersigned person, Khalid Yousuf Zariwala, age 50yrs, residing at 103 Faisal Park, First Floor, Mirza Complex, Rashid Compound, Kausa, Behind Millennium Hospital, Mumbra hereby like to file a complaint against Mr Iqbal Murtuza (Flat # 406 fourth floor) and Mr Azad (Flat # 403 fourth floor) both residing at the same building.

On 12th December 2010 at 9.30pm, these two persons came over to our flat along with four persons, and started demanding Rs 10,000 to my wife. When asked why the money was being demanded, they said it is for repairs of the foundation of the building being weak and every resident has to pay this amount. My wife said we do not have this kind of money, they said we will have to pay Rs 10000 or in two installments of Rs 5000 each.

On their way out, Mr Azad threatened my elder son, saying the amount has to be paid within 10 days anyhow, sell your ornaments or anything or else face dire consequences. We shall be back in 10 days to recover the amount and we know how to recover it.

This kind of threatening of dire consequences is a very great concerned to be put attention to it. Let me clarify that these two persons has no rights or any authority for any collection of any amount, for any reason whatsoever. I want you to find out under whose saying these persons are collecting the amount from every flats of the building without having any documentation or authority? I don’t think they have any knowledge also as to how the procedure is followed for any major repairs of the building.


PLEASE NOTE: To apprise you briefly, I have strongly objected to carry out the repairs to the building, as a prior permission is to be obtained from concerned authority.
