Besides using the rent money for their benefit, the accused also claimed ownership of the money collected in the donation box of the Shah Bada Kasi Trust, he said.The accused also allegedly constructed 15 shops on land belonging to the Kaanchni Masjid Trust.The land was, in the past, handed over to the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) for an Urdu school, he said.During the 2001 earthquake, the school structure became dilapidated.The AMC demolished the school in 2009 and shifted it to a nearby area.Meanwhile, the fake trustees constructed ten shops, one of which was used by accused Salim Khan to open his office, said the complainant, adding that the rest were rented out.The rents collected by the accused were neither deposited in the trust’s account nor handed over to the AMC.This way, they cheated the AMC and the Waqf Board, the complaint said.
