Nearly two weeks after this newspaper reported the arrest of a family for entering what they claimed was their own flat in Chembur East, police have begun an inquiry and asked them to produce documents related to the apartment.

In March, Sudhir Maru, his wife Neeta and their relatives faced police action for “trespassing” into a flat on the 15th floor of Kranti Building Number 1 at Subhash Nagar. While they secured bail, Maru said he had paid for the flat to the builder and had even rented it out for five years.
