NRI couple falls prey to realty fraud in Hyderabad, lose ₹10 crore
HYDERABAD : Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Cyberabad police registered a case against two real estate firms along with their senior executives for allegedly defrauding an NRI couple of Rs 10 crore in the name of a premium forest villa project . The accused duo has also been booked for threatening and intimidating the victims employing anti-social elements. According to complainant Anil Kumar Gullapally (44), an NRI businessman from Australia currently staying at Gundlapochampally, Sharat Nallamothu and his wife Pooja Nallamothu lured him and his wife, Tatineni Akhila, into investing in the 'Forest Villa Project' in Dec 2023. The NRI couple was told that the project — located in Bhairkhanpalle village of Rangareddy district — was being developed using the popular Japanese Miyawaki plantation method, over 150 acres. "The accused offered the victims a 20% stake in three related entities and made them pay Rs 4.47 crore through cheques and RTGS transfers. An additional Rs 5.53 crore was paid in cash," said an EOW official. When Anil visited the property in April 2024 he found no significant development. When he confronted the accused and sought his money back, the NRI alleged that Nallamothu along with six to eight other individuals threatened him and his family with dire consequences if they pursued legal action. Since the situation was unfavourable for the victims due to their NRI status and limited local support, they approached the EOW. EOW police registered a case under Sections 318(4) (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), 316(2) (punishment for criminal breach of trust), and 351(3) (criminal intimidation) read with 61(2) (criminal conspiracy punishment) of the BNS against the accused.

CHANDIGARH: Three men from Punjab trying to get to Australia illegally were 'rescued' on Wednesday by local police in Iran where they had landed 'on the way' and had been kidnapped. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Back home in Punjab, police have found that middlemen (sub-agents) brothers, Dheeraj Atwal and Kamal Atwal, had befooled the three men with an appealing deal to Australia, sweetened by a Jalandhar-based 'guarantor' and a 10-rupee note guarantee promising the clients' families that the Delhi-based main agent would be paid only after they reached Australia. The rescued men are Amritpal Singh from Hoshiarpur district, Husanpreet Singh from Dhuri in Sangrur district and Jaspal Singh from Langroa in Nawanshahr district. The Embassy of India in Iran on Wednesday said in a post on X, that they were now under the care of the embassy of India, which is facilitating their early repatriation. Police have now booked the 'guarantor', Sukhwinder Kumar. He is absconding along with Dheeraj and Kamal, and the duo's alleged associate Savita Soya, who has also been named in the FIR registered under sections of BNS and Punjab Travel Professionals (Regulation) Act at Hoshiarpur's Model Town police station. Two related FIRs have also been registered by Sangrur and Nawanshahr police, the hometowns of two other victims. The letterhead of the 'guarantor' having a office in Grand Mall, BMC Chowk, Jalandhar on which the 'documentation' of 'guarantee amount' was done before the three 'left for Australia' reads: 'BRBConsultant– Where Dream Become Realty [sic] – Deals in All Types of Visa Filling (sic) Services'. Only, in this case, their dreams turned into a nightmare, and their families went through the ordeal of losing money and seeing the trio being thrashed in captivity on a video call. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As per the 'guarantee documents', typed in Punjabi, the money was deposited with BRBConsultant by Dheeraj and Kamal on behalf of their 'clients' and 'token' numbers written on Rs 10 notes were issued. 'One part of the token is with me and another part will be with the agent who has promised to send [the men] abroad. I will give my part of token to the agent once the work is done (the men reach Australia) and the agent can collect the (guarantee) money from the office. And if for some reason, the agent does not send my man (read client) abroad, I will bring back the part of token with the agent and will take back the guarantee amount after depositing both tokens in the office,' reads the undertaking by the middlemen in the guarantee paper, which comes with a 'note' that a message had to be sent in either scenarios two days before taking the guarantee money from the office. The guarantee papers have been signed by the Atwal brothers in the presence of 'a witness'andonbehalf of BRB Consultant, by Sameer Ahuja. Hoshiarpur deputy superintendent of police (detective) Sukhninder Singh, who is investigating the FIR registered in Hoshiarpur, told TOI on Wednesday, 'The real name of the person who took the guarantee amount is Sukhwinder Kumar. We have named him in the FIR and he is suspect it is a wider racket. The investigations so far have pointed towards clear complicity of Sukhwinder.' As per the complaint made by Husanpreet's mother Balwinder Kaur, the abductors asked her son and the other two men to make video calls from their WhatsApp numbers, beat them and demanded Rs 2 crore. 'Now, they are demanding Rs 54 lakh to release the three,' reads the complaint, adding that they were asking that the amount be deposited in 'a Pakistan account of Ghazanfar Ali'. The complaint further reads, 'We all families are very upset because they are doing third degree torture by making video calls. .. The entire syndicate is working with Pakistani ISI and we are being asked to deposit money in Pakistani accounts'. The complaint also mentions a Delhi-based 'main agent Suresh', along with Atwal brothers, Sameer Ahuja alias Bunty and a woman of Rama Mandi in Jalandhar, who the complaint says, 'is Pakistani ISI agent'. It further reads, 'Ina planned conspiracy, they got my son and other two Jaspal Singh and Amritpal Singh abducted from outside Iran airport on May 1 through Pakistani ISI agents.' Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav said, 'We will probe the case from all angles including the ISI agents allegations.' Balwinder Kaur's complaint mentioned that Husanpreet had completed 10+2 (medical), got '7.5 bands in IELTS, but for some reasons could not get visa'. She stated that around over 1.5 years ago, Husanpreet got in touch with the travel agents and unsuccessfully tried to go to Croatia for Rs 7 lakh. Sometime back, they offered to send him directly to Australia on a five-year work permit for Rs 18 lakh, which they said would be paid on his reaching Australia. ' As per the complaint, theagents got an air ticket to Australia issued and cancelled twice before sending him to Dubai and to Iran on a flight onwards. As per the FIR registered at Model Town police station in Hoshiarpur, Amritpal's mother Gurdeep Kaur also said that after cancellation of air tickets to Australia twice, the agents sent Amritpal and Husanpreet to Iran via Dubai, promising that they would fly to Australia from Iran on May 3. She said initially Amritpal called her nephew to inform that they had reached Iran safely, but later said they were stuck in Iran, with their captors claiming they had a monetary issue to settle with the agents. The families claimed that before sending the trio to Iran, the agents sent them copies of 'Australian visa', which they now believe were fake.
