Meerut man arrested for operating multi-crore car loan fraud
Meerut: The special task force in Meerut arrested a 35-year-old man on Wednesday for allegedly operating a car loan fraud gang, causing losses worth crores to several banks. Additional SP STF Brijesh Kumar Singh said, "Anangpal Nagar, a resident of Kithore in Meerut, was the mastermind behind the crime and had been involved in this scam for the past 10 years. So far, six cars have been identified and a loss of over Rs 2.5 crores have been accounted for." Singh added, "Nagar used forged addresses in car loan documents along with fake Aadhaar cards at banks to secure loans and later sold the cars — mostly luxury — after defaulting on EMIs. The addresses on the documents were often linked to rented houses. Once a vehicle was financed, the accused vacated the listed address, stopped paying the EMI, and sold the vehicle at a reduced price to unsuspecting buyers." During interrogation, Nagar revealed that he registered a fake enterprise named Preeti Dairy, in the name of his female friend, showing its location in the Modipuram region of Meerut. Police said he used this fake business to create financial credibility by opening multiple bank accounts and transferring money between them to manipulate the cibil score in ITR filings. "In March, Anangpal financed a Fortuner from an SBI branch using a friend's name. Last year, he financed a Scorpio for Rs 18.5 lakh from the Indian Bank in the name of another female friend and later sold it to one Mohit Siwach for Rs 11 lakh. Two Toyota HyRyder vehicles were also financed — one from Toyota Finance and the other from ICICI Bank in Gurgaon — using fake address proofs. One of these was later sold to a buyer in Rajnagar Extension of Ghaziabad for Rs 16 lakh," Singh said, adding that investigation is ongoing to identify other members of the gang and trace more vehicles obtained through this racket.

Rs 400 crore, Rs 600 crore, Rs 1000 crore...: Rich Indians are buying luxury properties across India due to...
Representational Image/File From lavish bungalows in the Mumbai's upscale Malabar Hill to expensive apartments in Lutyens, Delhi, the sale and purchase of luxury real estate by India's ultra rich has increased at a rapid pace in recent times. According to a report by the Economic Times, Leena Gandhi Tewari, the chairperson of pharmaceutical giant USV Private Limited, recently purchased two duplex flats, with a combined area of 22,572 square feet, in Mumbai's Worli for Rs 635 crore. The deal is being touted as the most expensive in India, with each square foot of space costing a whopping Rs 2.83 lakh, as per the report. Additionally, the Kotak family has bought an entire sea-facing building in Mumbai for Rs 628 crore, while DMart owner Radhakishan Damani purchased a vintage bungalow in the posh Malabar Hill area for a staggering Rs 1000 crore. Why India's ultra rich are investing in luxury real estate? As per experts, there are a multitude of factors responsible for the country's uber-rich deciding to invest in luxury real estate, such as the rising demand in the real estate market for luxury homes. However, the number of such properties is still relatively compared to the demand, especially in highly-sought areas like Lutyens, Delhi, Mumbai's Worli, and Golf Course Road in Gurugram. This unequal demand and supply scenario in the luxury real estate market has resulted in prices of these properties skyrocketing in recent times, which can be gauged from the fact the Leena Tewari paid a record Rs 2.83 lakh per square feet for her duplex apartments in Mumbai, while one square feet at Gurugram's DLF Camellias costs around Rs 1.17 lakh. Notably, the ultra rich are not buying these properties for habitation, they plan to monetize them. As per reports, the Kotak family plans to rebuild the sea-facing building they recently purchased in Worli, and likely turn it into a luxury apartment building. Luxury real estate prices skyrocketing in Indian metros Luxury real estate prices in India metros and tier-I cities are surging at a rapid pace, with Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi ranked among 15 world cities where prices of luxury homes are increasing the fastest, as per a report by Knight Frank. Bengaluru ranks 4th on the list, followed by Mumbai at 5th, and Delhi at the 15th spot. According to market data, India's luxury home market grew by 28% in FY23-24, with Delhi-NCR topping the sales. Together, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi-NCR accounted for 67% of the total investment in luxury real estate, showcasing these cities as major real estate hubs in the country. Notably, the number of high net worth individuals (HNIs) increased by 6% to 85,698 in 2024, and the number is expected to reach 93,753 by 2028, according to the Knight Frank Wealth Report 2024. The report noted that HNIs in India invested 32% of their wealth in real estate in 2024, while the figure was 25% in 2020.
