Were Ayesha Takia and Farhan Azmi Lying About Getting Threatening Messages? Check SHOCKING New Details On The Case!
Kashiff Hashim Khan has released a press statement where he claims he is the victim and the Azmi's are filing a false complaint against him.
On July 4, we had reported about how actress Ayesha Takia, her sister-in-law and mother-in-law were getting harassed by threatening messages. Her husband, restauranteur Farhan Azmi, who is the son of the Samajwadi Party MLA Ab Azmi, had raised an outcry on Twitter about how he was not getting co-operation from certain Mumbai police officials, and tagged PM Modi in his tweet. When his tweets got attention, the Mumbai police got in touch with him and took details of his complaint. He had accused a former business partner, Kashiff Hashim Khan, of making the threatening messages, after the latter had filed a case of cheating against him.
But it looks like there are two sides to the story. Kashiff Hashim Khan has released a press statement where he claims he is the victim and the Azmi's are filing a false complaint against him to get back for the one he had filed against them. Khan, who runs a business restaurant under the name of M/s Khakai Coffee Shop, had accused Farhan and another of his business partner, Jai Jiwat Lalwani, of cheating, criminal breach of trust, threatening and intimidation.
In an FIR filed with the Bandra Police, Kashiff Khan had mentioned that the dup had cheated him of Rs. 13.5 lakhs. The press release states - "According to Mr. Khan, the aforementioned duo accosted him to take the Shelly Hotel Building in Colaba, on the lease, claiming to be owners of the entire building. He further added that in reality the whole building is under litigation and is disputed, but the trio is blatantly luring and deceiving other investors to pay them big monies to buy ownership or take a portion on lease in the building."
The money was then transferred to Ayesha Takia's bank account, who he accused of being an accomplice in their so-called scam. When Khan made a bid to recover the money, the accused sent goons to harass him and get him to withdraw the complaint.
While Mr. Kashiff tried to recover his money, he was harassed by goons, pressurizing him to withdraw the police complaint. In his affidavit, he revealed that he got threatening calls from gangster Ravi Pujari, that also targetted his family if he did not back off from the case. Here are the copies of the investigation reports that Khan had released to the press -

The Press release continues, "As per the investigations conducted by the Mumbai Police in the FIR no. 310/2018 against Farhan Abu Azmi U/s 420/406/34 of IPC, Ayesha Takia Azmi has been identified as the final real recipient of the money falsely obtained from Mr. Khan. Now, Mumbai Police has filed a request with the Hon’ble Court demanding 10 days police custody of Farhan Abu Azmi and is required; action would be taken against Ayesha Takia Azmi as well as the other co-accused in the case."
The matter will be heard by the court on July 6. Let's hope that the real truth will finally prevail, and whoever is guilty in the case is punished accordingly.
