Mumbai: Tazagul (Taniya) Khastova, a regional manager of Torres and an accused in the multi-crore Torres scam , filed a petition for clubbing all FIRs filed against her to be sent to the economic offences wing or to form an SIT to investigate them. She requested that she not be arrested in future FIRs if registered pending this petition.
A public prosecutor informed Bombay high court that the main writ and some other petitions pertaining to the Torres scam are scheduled for hearing on April 29, so this matter can also be kept on the same date. A division bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Neela Gokhale asked the prosecutor to take instructions on the transfer plea. However, the HC was not inclined to immediately pass orders on clubbing. The HC said it may consider the transfer of cases to one court on the next date and posted the matter to 29 April.
An FIR for cheating was filed with Shivaji Park police in the alleged Rs 125 crore case. Police earlier this year also arrested Xasatova (52), and 2 others. Most investors invested in Torres Jewellery. — Swati Deshpande
