Doshi is expected in court on Monday after his arrest by detectives from Land Fraud Unit who have been probing a land dispute case.
He was however released on cash bail by officers at the Muthaiga police station pending his arraignment Monday, April 17.
Doshi’s arrest is in relation to a piece of land along Processional Way worth about Sh500 million.
This settles the saga which has been in contention between major institutions.
In 2020, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions concurred with the DCI that the directors of Magnum Properties -Doshi and his wife Pratibha – be charged for alleged forgery of documents and conspiracy to defraud the government.
Doshi and his wife later lost a case in which they sought to permanently restrain the police and ODPP from arresting and charging them in 2021.
DCI head of Investigations Abdalla Komesha on Sunday confirmed the arrest of the businessman.
Komesha said the trader will appear in court to answer charges related to land fraud.
