Mumbai: A 44-year-old businessman has filed a complaint at Sahar police station on Wednesday, alleging that four members of a
Mira Road family misappropriated goods and cash worth Rs 25.9 lakh entrusted to two women in Dubai for delivery in Mumbai.
In the FIR, Sohail Mohammed Hafiz Siddiqui alleged that Ramisa Sheikh, Rehamunissa Shaikh, Ramisa’s husband Shabbir Shaikh and son Sufiyan Shaikh conspired to retain the consignment between Aug 4 and 7.
Police said Siddiqui, a Mumbra resident involved in transporting chocolates, mobile phones and cosmetics, said he had travelled to Dehra, Dubai, for work on July 27-2026. As Ramisa and Rehamunissa were known to his sister and visiting Dubai, he asked them to carry items for his family.
In the FIR, Siddiqui said: “The consignment comprised a 45 gms gold chain worth Rs 5.35 lakh, two gold bangles weighing 40 gms and worth Rs 4.75 lakh, two iPhone 17 Pro Max phones worth Rs 3.4 lakh, two laptops worth Rs 2.75 lakh, cosmetics worth Rs 4.1 lakh and chocolates worth Rs 80,000. I also gave them Rs 4.8 lakh cash, equivalent to $5,000, for customs duty.”
Ramisa was scheduled to arrive at Mumbai airport on flight FZ 445 at 11.25pm on Aug 4, while Rehamunissa was expected later. “Siddiqui alleged that Ramisa subsequently claimed customs officials had detained her and deposited the goods and cash. He said enquiries at Mumbai Customs on Aug 9 indicated that no woman had been detained and no such items seized. He alleged that the accused later gave evasive replies and failed to return the entrusted property,” said a Sahar police officer.
Police probing the case are yet to make an arrest.
