The Chembur police have booked a Vasai resident for allegedly reviving a dead man on paper to fraudulently transfer ownership of property, including a bungalow, worth Rs 50 crore in Juhu.
The accused, Vyadhar S Rao, 47, allegedly forged documents to show that Dorab Fardunji Sarkari, the original property owner, was alive and had authorised him to execute a property transfer.
