The contentious plot in Kanjurmarg

Over 50 years ago in 1965, Farooq Abdul Rehman Yusuf (76) inherited over 70 acres of land in Kanjurmarg (east and west) valued at Rs 150-200 crore from his grandfather Mohammed Yusuf (bought on July 6, 1938). Today, he is battling to save that entire parcel, of which he became the sole executor after the deaths of his father and brother in 1968 and 2012, respectively. He claims that it was grabbed from him through forgery and deceit by two directors of Adarsh Water Park and Resorts - Idris Khan and Dineshchand Shah - in connivance with state revenue officials. In a slight relief on April 21 though, the Mulund Metropolitan court directed the Kanjurmarg police to investigate the case and register an FIR against the accused and revenue officials.
