A special court rejected a Chembur resident’s plea in ₹4.44 crore mill workers’ housing scam. Nilesh Thakur and his wife, Shraddha, allegedly lured nearly 29 people with false promise of cheaper housing at Swadeshi Mill complex. One accused, Bharat Naik, purportedly sold a room to investor using forged documents, but his lawyer argued he never induced investors for money.
