The Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate Court has issued a non-bailable warrant against developers Vinod Surana and Santosh Muthiyan, in connection with a cheque bouncing case of Rs 13-crore, as claimed by complainant Rahul Gupta.

Gupta, a Mumbai-based businessman, who has shifted to Dubai, claimed to have invested around Rs 7-crore in 2011 for a construction project managed by the firm of Surana and Muthiyan. "It was a joint development project at Chikalthana MIDC, Aurangabad. I was assured a return of Rs 13-crore for the same. Accordingly, Surana had issued three cheques amounting to Rs 13-crore as guarantee against the said investment," Gupta said.
