The full story

Everything you need to know about this case, in one place.

The scheme allegedly involved convincing victims to pay cash as token money for plot allotments in the company's Wood View Residency Project located in Sector-89. To appear legitimate, the accused reportedly instructed buyers to issue checks in the name of the real estate company, while pocketing the cash themselves. The fraud came to light after affected customers visited the company's office to inquire about missing confirmation letters.

A representative for the real estate firm formally lodged a cheating complaint, leading police to register a case against the accused individuals, including two named suspects. Authorities stated that the investigation into the conspiracy and the total financial losses has been handed over to the Economic Offences Wing.

Not yet reported: The reports do not mention whether any arrests have been made by the Economic Offences Wing yet.
