Alleged Fraudster Kashiff Khan Case: Multiple FIRs, Identity Allegations, FashionTV Claims and Criminal Proceedings Under Scrutiny
Alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan, who has described himself as associated with FashionTV India, faces scrutiny over multiple FIRs, alleged identity discrepancies, criminal complaints, and pending legal proceedings across several states.
The alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan’s case has returned to public attention after a series of criminal complaints, court records, media reports, and allegations surfaced across multiple jurisdictions in India.
According to complainants and legal records cited by sources, alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan has allegedly used different names across documents, court filings, business records, and police proceedings.
Names attributed to him include Kashiff Sardar Hashim Khan Malik, Malik Kashif Khan, Kashif Khan, Kashif, Khasiff, and Kashif Sardar Hashim Khan.
The matter has also raised questions over his repeated claim of being associated with FashionTV as a self-styled Managing Director, despite alleged discrepancies in MCA records.
Identity Allegations and FashionTV Claims
According to available records cited by complainants, alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan allegedly used different identities in passport records, MCA/DIN records, court petitions, and police matters.
The DIN number 01515282 has reportedly been linked with the name Malik Kashif Khan, while other proceedings mention Kashif Khan or related variations.
Complainants allege that these multiple identity references may have helped prevent case records from being connected across jurisdictions, including cases involving Look Out Circular concerns.
Alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan has reportedly described himself as connected with FashionTV India and, in some events, as “Global MD” or Managing Director.
However, complainants allege that MCA records do not show him as a director of any FashionTV entity. These claims remain subject to verification and legal scrutiny.
Juhu FIR and Alleged Threats to Journalist Dharmesh Hariram Thakkar
One major complaint relates to journalist Dharmesh Hariram Thakkar, who reportedly examined permissions linked to the Cordelia Cruise event through RTI applications.
The event, held on October 2 and 3, 2021, later came under public focus after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) conducted a raid.
According to the complaint, alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan allegedly threatened Dharmesh Hariram Thakkar with false cases, including allegations of molestation and sexual harassment.
The complaint also refers to messages allegedly sent through the phone of Yogi Thakur’s wife, threatening that Dharmesh Thakkar’s days were numbered.
Another allegation states that Vikrant Gupta placed Dharmesh Thakkar on a conference call during which threats of false extortion cases across states were allegedly made.
The complaint further alleges that Reena Barot used Facebook Messenger to threaten a false rape case before deleting messages, while Laxminarayan Shetty gave a statement to police.
According to the complaint, Laxminarayan Shetty stated that the alleged fraudster, Kashiff Khan, said he and Amit Tiwari would file several cases against Dharmesh Thakkar.
Following these allegations, Juhu Police Station registered FIR No. 634/2021 under Sections 500, 504, 506(II), and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
Oshiwara FIR, Aura Thai Spa and Other Allegations
Separate allegations also refer to an FIR at Oshiwara Police Station, Mumbai, involving accusations of rape and stalking against alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan.
The complainant is reportedly a woman who later moved to the United States due to fear, according to claims made by those familiar with the matter.
Another case mentioned in complaints relates to Aura Thai Spa, where allegations of immoral trafficking were reportedly raised against alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan.
Sources claim that the case involved allegations relating to women working at spa establishments connected with business activities using FashionTV branding.
Alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan is reportedly on bail in that matter. However, all allegations remain subject to trial, evidence, and adjudication by competent courts.

Forged Aadhaar Allegation in Lucknow Case
The Lucknow case involving complainant Manoj Agarwal has added another serious layer to the allegations surrounding alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan.
According to the complaint, alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan allegedly submitted a forged or tampered Aadhaar document with his anticipatory bail application.
It is alleged that the Aadhaar copy carried a left-hand signature, while other documents filed with the affidavit contained right-hand signatures.
Complainants allege this was done deliberately to later deny the signature or identity connection. The Aadhaar date of birth was also allegedly altered.
Submitting a forged identity document before court, if proven, may attract serious consequences under forgery, fraud, Aadhaar-related, and information technology laws.
FIRs Across States and Gorakhpur Court Reference
Complaints and records cited by sources list multiple FIRs allegedly registered against alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan across several states over the years.
These include Goa FIR 71/2014, Jaipur FIR 346/2015, Borivali FIR 186/2016, Patiala FIR 218/2016, and Vadodara FIRs 28/2018 and 112/2019.
The list also refers to Bandra FIR 608/2021, Juhu FIR 634/2021, Gwalior FIR 434/2023 involving Ayush Chauhan, and Udaipur FIR 88/2023.
Further cases mentioned include Lucknow FIR 0194/2024 involving Manoj Agarwal, Jalandhar FIR 0084/2024, Rajampet FIR 153/2024, and Gorakhpur FIR 0842/2025 involving Juhi Singh.
A fresh case in Banaras involving Abhilash Singh has also been cited by complainants, though its current procedural status requires official confirmation.
According to sources, the Gorakhpur Sessions Court order dated May 8, 2026, reportedly noted seven other similar criminal cases against the accused.
Cordelia Cruise, NCB Raid and Nawab Malik’s Demand
The Cordelia Cruise event of October 2021 remains one of the most publicised episodes connected with alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan’s alleged business network.
Media reports by India Today, Tribune India, and ANI had earlier referred to FashionTV India’s sponsorship and the event’s wider controversy.
Following the NCB raid, several arrests were made. However, complainants have alleged that alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan, despite his alleged role, avoided action.
Former Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik had publicly demanded action against alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan and made serious allegations regarding drugs, sex, and pornography rackets.
Those statements remain political and public allegations unless tested before competent investigative agencies or courts through admissible evidence and due process.
Legal Status and What Happens Next
According to complainants, alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan has also been declared a proclaimed offender in two Mumbai cases under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.
They further allege that despite this status, he continued travelling to Dubai, secured a Golden Visa, and sold franchises across India.
Alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan was reportedly arrested in Gorakhpur and has been in judicial custody since April 4, 2026.
His bail was reportedly rejected by the Chief Judicial Magistrate on April 7, 2026, and by the Sessions Court on May 8, 2026.
The matter is expected to remain under scrutiny as complainants seek coordinated investigation across states, including Mumbai, Lucknow, Gorakhpur, Banaras, Goa, Jaipur, Vadodara, Gwalior, Udaipur, Jalandhar, and Rajampet.
Sprouts News will continue tracking the legal developments, court proceedings, complainant claims, and any response issued by alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan or his representatives.
All allegations against alleged fraudster Kashiff Khan remain subject to investigation, documentary verification, trial, and final adjudication by competent courts.
