Police sources said Owais is currently in Dubai, while the luxury car was allegedly sold to another buyer in Hyderabad, with the original dealer not receiving payment. According to Kurla police, the complainant, a 40-year-old car dealer, buys vehicles through auctions, repairs and restores them, and subsequently sells them. The Mercedes deal The dealer purchased the Mercedes-Benz S-Class through an online auction in January 2025. The vehicle had originally belonged to an Ahmedabad-based owner. The complainant paid through banking channels, completed the legal formalities and took possession of the car. He subsequently repaired and restored the Mercedes before deciding to sell it. An automobile agent with whom he had previously conducted transactions allegedly approached him, claiming to have a genuine customer willing to buy the S-Class. The dealer was told that Owais was interested. The Mercedes was handed over, along with its RC book, to facilitate inspection and the proposed sale. According to the complaint, Owais agreed to buy the vehicle for Rs 1.30 crore but sought 30 to 45 days to make the full payment. The dealer agreed to the arrangement and also handed over the RC card and other original documents, allegedly after being told they were required for verification and completion of the transaction. Car sold, payment withheld However, the 30-45-day period expired without the dealer receiving any payment. He subsequently learnt that the Mercedes had allegedly been sold to another buyer in Hyderabad. Investigators have also learnt that money from the Hyderabad transaction was allegedly received. Despite the vehicle being sold and the sale proceeds being received, the original dealer was allegedly not paid the agreed Rs 1.30 crore. “After learning about the Hyderabad transaction, our client lodged a complaint in the matter. However, he has not received any part of the sale proceeds. The accused is currently believed to be outside India, and we have urged the police to conduct a thorough investigation into the case,” the complainant’s advocates, Mohammed Ahmed Shaikh and Sofiya Shaikh, said. Based on the complaint, police registered an offence against Owais under Section 318(4) of the BNS, for cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property. An IPS officer confirmed that an FIR had been registered at Kurla police station. A police team is expected to leave for Hyderabad soon to trace and recover the car, sources said. Who was Mustafa? Dossa was one of the key accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts case. Investigators alleged that he was a close associate of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and played a significant role in the conspiracy behind the bombings, which killed over 250 people and injured hundreds. After remaining absconding for several years, Dossa was deported to India from the United Arab Emirates in 2003 and tried by a special TADA court. In June 2017, the court convicted him for his alleged role in the conspiracy. Before the court could pronounce his sentence, Dossa died of cardiac arrest at a Mumbai hospital on June 28, 2017.
