Nairobi Businesswoman Meera Narendra Thakrar Accused of Multi-Million Shilling Fraud

Nairobi, Kenya – A Nairobi-based businesswoman, Meera Narendra Thakrar, is at the centre of a widening fraud scandal involving millions of shillings, as she battles criminal charges at the Kibera Law Courts.

According to court filings, Thakrar is accused of fraudulently obtaining KSh600,000 from businessman Arbaaz Qureshi by false pretence. The prosecution alleges that the accused misled Qureshi into parting with the cash under the guise of a business deal that never materialised.

Although one of the charges she faced was recently dropped, Thakar remains under active investigation, with another case still before a Kibera Magistrate’s Court. The prosecution has since sought additional time to detain her as investigations deepen.

Sources close to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) revealed that Thakrar may have defrauded multiple victims, with the total amount siphoned estimated to exceed KSh30 million.

Authorities believe she used elaborate schemes and manipulation to deceive unsuspecting individuals into transferring large sums of money to her accounts.

“The suspect is on our radar. This matter is much bigger than what has so far been presented in court,” a DCI source told Nairobi Exposed on condition of anonymity.

Thakrar appeared in court recently, and the case is set for mention on January 18. Prosecutors are expected to provide an update on the status of ongoing investigations and possibly file additional charges.

If convicted, she could face years behind bars and a hefty fine, depending on the magnitude of the fraud.

The case has raised renewed concerns over rising cases of white-collar crime in Kenya’s business circles, with calls for stricter due diligence in business dealings and tougher enforcement against fraudsters.
