Five of Mumbai-based family booked for cheating businessman

PUNE: Five participants of a Mumbai-based family had been booked for allegedly cheating a Pune businessman to the tune of Rs 90 lakh at the pretext of selling them a flat in a housing society on Prabhat Road over the past 4 years.

The businessman, from Rasta Peth, lodged a criticism against the suspects with the Deccan Gymkhana police on Saturday.



The criticism states that the suspects approached the businessman in 2015 through a not unusual friend. The suspects informed the businessman that they owned a flat within the society and wanted to sell it as they stay in Mumbai.

The two parties had signed a deal and finalized the cost of the flat at Rs90 lakh. “Following the deal, the businessman made the required bills with the assistance of a mortgage over the following year. All the transactions had been accomplished through cheques or through money,” a police officer stated.


After the cost used to be completed, the suspects passed over the paperwork of the flat together with Index II, registration paperwork and tax slips to facilitate the switch of the property. “When the businessman reviewed the property paperwork, he realized that the suspects had passed over forged and fabricated paperwork,” the officer stated.


Meanwhile, the businessman realized that the suspects had offered the flat to someone else. “Instead of going forward with the signed deal, the businessman made up our minds to get back his money. He requested the suspects to go back the sum and pleaded them to do so over the past two years,” the officer stated.


The suspects, on the other hand, did not go back the money. “They did not surrender the property to the businessman. After looking ahead to two years, the businessman approached the police to resort a case of cheating against the suspects,” the officer added.
