Indian Billionaire Balvinder Sahni Jailed in Dubai For Money Laundering

A Dubai court has sentenced Indian businessman Balvinder Singh Sahni, also known as Abu Sabah, to five years in prison and fined him Dh500,000 for money laundering. Authorities have also confiscated Dh150 million in illicit assets.

The Raj Sahni Group founder faces deportation from the UAE after his sentence, marking a dramatic fall for the luxury-loving billionaire.

On May 2, 2025, Dubai’s Fourth Criminal Court convicted Sahni, 53, and 32 others, including his eldest son, of laundering Dh150 million (approximately $41 million) through a network of shell companies and forged invoices, as reported by Gulf News.

The court fined Sahni Dh500,000 ($136,147) and seized Dh150 million in illicit funds, electronic devices and documents. Once he completes his sentence, authorities will deport him. The court also fined three implicated companies Dh50 million each and confiscated additional assets.

The case, initiated at Bur Dubai Police Station in 2024, revealed sophisticated financial misconduct spanning UAE and international jurisdictions. The first court session, held on January 9, 2025, exposed the use of fake commercial partnerships.

Who is Balvinder Singh Sahni?

Born in Kuwait in 1972, Sahni is the Raj Sahni Group (RSG) chairman, a prominent property development firm operating in the UAE, the US, India, and beyond. RSG’s Dubai portfolio includes Qasr Sabah in Dubai Sports City, the 24-story Burj Sabah in Jumeirah Village Circle, and the five-star Sabah Dubai hotel. Known for his opulent lifestyle, Sahni gained fame in 2016 for purchasing the D5 car plate for Dh33 million ($9 million), the most expensive in Dubai then, for his Rolls-Royce. His car collection, featuring two Rolls-Royce Cullinans and a Bugatti Chiron, and his signature blue kandura have earned him 3.3 million Instagram followers.

Sahni’s conviction, alongside scrutiny of RSG’s financing, highlights the UAE’s stringent financial regulations, as noted by AML Intelligence. The case, trending on X, has sparked discussions about corporate governance in Dubai’s real estate sector, with industry insiders anticipating RSG’s restructuring. Democratic lawmakers have raised concerns about potential links to broader financial networks, though these remain unconfirmed.
