Home buyers 'fraud': ED secures custody of 2 Ramprastha Group directors
Gurugram, The Directorate of Enforcement on Wednesday secured two-day custody of Sandeep Yadav and Arvind Walia, promoters of Haryana-based realty company Ramprastha Group, in connection with a money laundering probe linked to an alleged ₹1,100 crore fraud with homebuyers. Home buyers 'fraud': ED secures custody of 2 Ramprastha Group directors The two were arrested on Monday after the Gurugram zonal office of the federal probe agency raided three premises in Delhi and Gurugram, including those of the directors, early morning on that day. Yadav and Walia are directors and majority shareholders in Ramprastha Promoters and Developers Pvt Ltd . They were taken into custody under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act . The federal probe agency produced the two in the court of an additional session judge, following which the ED secured their custody. The agency conducted a survey against the group in September 2024. It is alleged that the RPDPL collected about ₹1,100 crore from more than 2,000 homebuyers for various housing schemes like Project Edge, Project Skyz, Project Rise and Ramprastha City in various sectors of Gurugram during 2008-11. The possession of the flats or plots is yet to be given, even after 15-20 years, the sources said. Earlier this month, the agency attached colonies and plots spread across more than 1,900 acres and worth over ₹681.54 crore of the group in Gurugram as part of this investigation. The money laundering case stems from multiple FIRs filed by the Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi and Haryana Police based on complaints of numerous homebuyers against RPDPL and its promoters, like Yadav, Walia and Balwant Chaudhary for their "failure" to deliver promised flats and plots within the promised timeframes, the ED had said in a statement. The company and its promoters "diverted" the funds sources from buyers of these projects to its group companies as advances for the purchase of land parcels, instead of using them for completion of promised homes, it had said.

Three men damage 15 vehicles with stones & sticks in Dhankawdi
1 2 Pune: Three men damaged 18 vehicles — 15 autorickshaws, two cars and a school van — with stones and sticks between 12.35am and 1am on Wednesday at Dhankawdi, and threatened residents with dire consequences if anyone intervened in their act of vandalism, claiming themselves to be local "Bhais" (strongmen). Sumit Rangnekar (42), a resident of the area, lodged a complaint with the Sahakarnagar police later in the morning. The trio damaged the windshield of his car. Deputy commissioner of police (Zone II) Milind Mohite told TOI, "The reason behind the vandalism is not known yet. Our team is studying the CCTV footage of the area, which shows the three men riding on a motorcycle and damaging the vehicles parked on a road. They have been riding triple-seat." You Can Also Check: Pune AQI | Weather in Pune | Bank Holidays in Pune | Public Holidays in Pune Inspector Surekha Chavan of the Sahakarnagar police said, "The three men damaged the vehicles parked on the public road. A majority of the affected people are autorickshaw drivers, who stay nearby." An autorickshaw driver (48) said, "I had parked my autorickshaw on the road around 10.30pm on Tuesday. After parking my autorickshaw, I went home. I received a call from one of my friends around 1am, stating that someone damaged the windshield of my autorickshaw." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa Prices in Dubai Might Be Lower Than You Think!

I also will miss two days' income, which is around Rs600 to Rs700 per day." DCP Mohite said, "We suspect that the case of vehicle vandalism is connected to another case of house ransacking in the area. A man celebrated his birthday with his second wife and two sons, and three sons of his earlier wife came to his house and ransacked it. The three men were seen leaving the same area on their motorcycle where the ransacked house is located. We are yet to arrive at any conclusion, though." Late on Sunday night, a gang of eight men damaged a grocery store and then damaged an autorickshaw. On Saturday evening, three people damaged eight vehicles in Kondhwa over an old rivalry.

Cyber fraud, online betting racket with global links busted; 15 held
1 2 Lucknow: A cyber fraud and online betting racket with international links was busted by the Cyber Crime Police Station in Lucknow on Wednesday, leading to the arrest of 15 people, most of whom are under the age of 30. The accused allegedly ran a network of digital scams using fake betting platforms and multi-layered money laundering routes to cheat unsuspecting citizens across multiple states. Acting on a tip-off, the police raided a rented accommodation in Friends Colony near Lulu Mall and found several individuals operating laptops, mobile phones, and using multiple debit cards simultaneously. When confronted, they attempted to shut down their devices but were apprehended. A total of 15 accused were taken into custody and booked under various sections of the IPC and the IT Act. The arrested individuals include first-time offenders recruited through social media, lured by the promise of quick money. Some were as young as 18, and several belonged to the same village, indicating localised recruitment. ADCP, Cyber Crime, Vasant Kumar, said that the gang operated under the fake platforms 'Anna Reddy', 'Fair Play', and '99 Exchange', using them as fronts for online gambling and investment fraud. The victims were approached via phone or social media and promised lucrative returns on betting. Once funds were deposited into mule accounts, the money was quickly moved through a series of fake accounts to evade detection. During the raid, police seized Rs 53,200 in cash, 44 mobile phones, 3 laptops, 1 tablet, 42 ATM/debit cards, 7 cheque books, 13 passbooks, 14 SIM cards, 1 POS machine, and 6 account books suspected to be linked to fraudulent transactions. So far, 44 cyber fraud complaints linked to this gang have surfaced from various states, with total estimated transactions running into crores of rupees.
