The alleged owners of the multi-billion Lavington property allegedly grabbed by a couple have accused the DPP and the DCI of failing to prosecute the Asian Couple.
Munir Ahmed Chowdhary, speaking from a UK-based hospital, expressed displeasure and disbelief that businessman Mahesh Kumar Bhatti and his wife Anita Bhatti did not enter a plea before Milimani Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina, before whom they appeared on Monday, August 21, 2023.
At roughly 9:00 a.m., the couple was arraigned in court, but no charges were filed against them.
The pair were ushered out of the courtroom, leaving the complainant’s lawyer Moses Mabeya and his property agent Bashir Abdulrehmar bewildered and stunned.
“We are at a loss as to what is happening. We had been informed by the investigating officer that the suspects will be charged today at the Milimani Law Courts,” lawyer Mabeya said while addressing media outside the Court.
According to Bashir, Munir and his former business associate, the late Malkiat Singh Assi are the genuine owners of the property which they bought and developed over 50 years ago.
The agents claim that the real owners of the property acquired it in 1977.
