Two Kisumu tycoons are expected to answer to charges of fraud and obtaining money by false pretenses from B.N. Kotecha & Sons Limited.
It is alleged that Sunil Shah and Kamal Shah, directors of United Millers Limited, had forged invoices claiming they suffered losses to the tune of Ksh79.4 million after B.N. Kotecha & Sons Limited failed to supply them with sugar, yet they (United Millers) had already pledged they would supply their customers with the goods.
The two are alleged to have used the forged documents, allegedly obtained from different sugar traders in Kisumu, to sue B.N. Kotecha & Sons Limited on October 13, 2015 at a Kisumu High Court.

The court ruled that B.N. Kotecha & Sons Limited must pay the United Millers duo the lost money and special damages.
“On the 2nd of April, 2015 at unknown place within the Republic of Kenya jointly conspired with intent to defraud B.N Kotecha & Sons Limited Ksh79, 471, 000 by falsely pretending that they had lost business at their company the United Millers Limited to their clients a fact they knew to be false,” reads the charge sheet filed at Milimani Law Courts on Thursday, June 4.
The two and three other United Millers Limited employees were arrested in Kisumu County on Wednesday, June 3, and their detention recorded under the OB Number 39/3/6/2020 after B.N. Kotecha & Sons Limited accused them of fraud.
The businessmen would later Wednesday be brought to DCI headquarters on Limuru Road for questioning.
The two were released on Ksh70, 000 and ordered to appear in court on Thursday, June 4 to answer to fraud charges, but they defied the directive.
