MTV Splitsvilla 13 winner Jay Dudhane was arrested at the Mumbai airport in connection with an alleged real estate scam, police told news agency PTI on Sunday.
According to police reports, Dudhane was arrested after a retired engineer lodged an FIR against Dudhane, alleging that the television personality and four of his family members defrauded him of Rs 4.61 crore by making him purchase five commercial shops, which were mortgaged to a bank, in Thane.
Senior police inspector Pravin Mane confirmed that Jay Dudhane, model, athlete, fitness instructor and rising actor, was arrested at the airport on Saturday.
The FIR stated that Dudhane had presented forged documents, including a fake bank clearance letter and a counterfeit demand draft for Rs 4.95 crore, to the victim. The fraud was exposed when the bank issued a seizure notice on the property.
Police had booked Dudhane and four other members of his family under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for cheating and forgery, the PTI report added.
Further investigation is currently underway, as per PTI.
Dudhane, who was also a contestant on Bigg Boss Marathi Season 3, tied the knot with social media personality Harshala Patil on 24 December.
