Wayanad, Padinjarathara Police have registered FIR on the complaint given by T. Rajan Nambiar an NRI businessman residing in UAE. FIR is against Mrs. Lathika M.B, Secretary, Thariyodu Grama Panjayat and Shihab Sha, chairman Kenza Holdings for acquiring land unlawfully and forgery of signature in the construction of Kenza Wellness,Wayanad which has also caused serious violations. It is also observed by expert committee appointed by Wayanad District collector that Thariyode Panchayat Secretary has ISSUED LAND DEVELOPMENT PERMIT and BUILDING CONSTRUCTION / REGULARISATION PERMIT without taking appropriate document clearance from necessary statutory bodies which is mandatory in Wayanad.

T.Rajan Nambiar informed that he was contacted as part of a promotion for a villa and resort project in 2015 by Chairman of Kenza Holdings, Muhammed Shihab.E.S known as Shihab Sha Sha native of Thrissur District who is as well an NRI residing in Dubai. Kenza Holdings head office is mentioned in Dubai. The project investment was for a 60 villas resort with five-star amenities which was launched in 2015 at Dubai, Burj Al Arab in the name of ” Royal Meadows”, with a view to Banasura Dam in Wayanad district, Kerala state. Many invested internationally and nationally for this project, and Mr. Rajan as well invested in 2016. For the proposed villa only land was registered in the name of Mr. Rajan Nambiar promising to build a villa in it for which Mr. Rajan still continue paying land taxes. Months and years passed and no villa was given as promised by Muhammed Shihab. 

Mean time many launches were done every year in the name of the same project for its different phases during 2016, 2017 and 2018. In 2019 it was noticed another project was launched on the same premise as Kenza Wellness Center which was promoted and advertised to be a multi-speciality hospital and was promoted with a new investment scheme at the same vicinity of the promised villa project. Followed by the incident it was made evident that it was cheating and scam. Finally, Mr Rajan approach the court to claim the investment back for the villa. The Sultan Bathery Sub Court, Wayanad, comprehended Mr Rajan’s plea and granted attachment to the rest of the property owned by Mohammed Shihab in Wayanad. Through various enquiries it was confirmed that Kenza Wellness Multi-speciality hospital in Wayanad have serious violations. Experts committee was put for Investigation by Wayanad Disaster management as the complaints grew stronger on the violations of the construction and report was submitted to DDMA 0n 28 October 2021 by district town planner and executive engineer showing clear violations of the construction.

It was then notified to Mr. Rajan about a letter given by Thariyode Grama panchayat to disaster management about the violations of the building which includes Mr Rajan’s name as one of the parties along with Muhammed Shihab. As per the letter by Mrs. Lathika M.B, Secretary, Thariyodu Grama Panjayat, submitted to disaster management and district collector Wayanad the secretary clearly requests permission to regularize on the building violations which includes Mr Rajan’s name and survey number of his property for which he never submitted such an application in the first place. Rajan recalled that he was contacted over phone by Secretary, Thariyodu Grama Panjayat convincing him its for a personal villa building permit in the said vicinity a few months ago and Rajan cleared that his case is under progress and its now court matter and therefore do not issue any kind of building permit in his name. Later it was noticed that a building permit has been issued under a joined permit along with Muhammed Shihab and Mr. Rajan in the same survey number of Mr. Rajan’s property without Mr. Rajan’s consent or knowledge. The said vicinity where the building has been constructed falls under highly sensitive zone and constructions are restricted by Disaster management.

In further investigation it was clear that Mr. Rajan’s property had been acquired unlawfully and forged his signature for a construction that has violated the disaster management’s norms which is a grave offence. The violation of the building with reference to Kerala Panchayath building rule and Panchayath has issued several notices with respect to this at various period of times. But Rajan never received any notice from Thariyode Grama Panchayat. It is noticed that the application receiving at Panchayat was on 03/07/2019 and permit issuing on very next day 04/07/2019 without verifying the documents for such huge construction itself proves is a well planned and executed conspiracy. Under the grounds of the crime that had happened with the joined knowledge and planning of Mohammed Shihab and Thariyode Panchayat authorities, Rajan Nambiar approached the Indian Consulate of Dubai and Chief minister’s office and now an FIR has been registered against Mrs. Lathika M.B, Secretary, Thariyodu Grama Panjayat and Shihab Sha. 

In the name of real estate tourism and medical tourism Shihab Sha Chairman of Kenza Holdings has lured investors with fraudulent schemes and the investors have moved legally and have acquired attachment through court of law. But Shihab Sha continue his advertisements and raising funds through trapping more victims aiming for more than 400 CR. Kenza Wellness Wayanad and Munnar projects have been widely marketed through social media platforms and shares been sold when the hospital itself doesn’t have approval. Government representatives, Celebrities and politicians have been invited for events to do branding and to help maintain the credibility of the project and use social media as an advertising medium. 

Shihab has been previously as well registered for similar crime at the Pavaratty Police Station, Thrissur. And been bailed out from high court of Kerala.

Vigilance and anticorruption enquiry on all the concerned departments against the support given for this illegal construction and non-existing project are as well under progress.
