The Dindoshi sessions court on Tuesday rejected the anticipatory bail application filed by Karamvir Rajpurohit, a developer accused of cheating a Borivli-based real estate firm. Rajpurohit, who had sought bail on the grounds that the matter was of civil nature and not a criminal case, has now decided to approach the Bombay High Court. 

Borivli police lodged the FIR in the case on January 11 following the complaint by Peerless Constructions Private Limited. The firm alleged that Rajpurohit and two other real estate agents had cheated it of Rs 1 crore by asking it to invest in the redevelopment of Saraswati and Shree Saraswati cooperative housing societies in Borivli West.
