The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Crime Branch is investigating a Rs 1.87-crore cheating case, in which the brother of Uttarakhand governor has accused a businessman of cheating him. The accused, the founder of Tiana group of companies, has been arrested.

Incidentally, the EOW has also recovered some documents from the accused, Ashiquali Mohibali Nathani, which show that he had paid Rs 200 crore for a land deal to Vilasrao Deshmukh, former Union minister of Information Technology who died last year. But the police are yet to verify the authenticity of the papers.
