“He is also accused of destroying original documents from the Mumbai registrar’s office. Acting on a tip off that Lakdawala was planning to leave the country, we sent a team and picked him up from Ahmedabad airport,” he said. Lakdawala has been booked under Section 465 (forgery) and other relevant provisions of the IPC and the Indian Registration Act, for making false statements and delivering false copies, the official added.
