Was framed in criminal cases by ex-partner, police: Car designer Dilip Chhabria

Renowned car designer Dilip Chhabria, who was arrested in a dual car registration racket in December 2020, has accused his former partner in DC Designs Private Limited of conniving with the police to set him up.

Renowned car designer Dilip Chhabria, who was arrested in a dual car registration racket by Mumbai Police's Crime Intelligence Unit in December 2020, has alleged that he was framed in multiple cases by his ex-business partner and the police. Chhabria made the allegation in a complaint with the Mumbai Police on May 17. The car designer alleged that his former partner in DC Designs Private Limited had connived with the police to set him up. The case was handled by former Mumbai Police assistant inspector Sachin Waze, who is in controversy over his alleged involvement in the Ambani bomb scare case and the death case of businessman Mansukh Hiran. "In January when I was arrested, (Sachin) Waze told me that if I don’t pay up Rs 25 crore he will file 15 FIRs against me and keep me in jail for two years. In the coming days, three FIRs were filed against me. Before my arrest I had filed a complaint in November 2020 against my business partner. Rather than acting on my complaint, the police arrested me,” Chhabria said.
