ED searches 8 locations in Lucknow, Delhi in Rohtas projects fraud case
1 2 Lucknow: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday carried out searches at eight premises — six in Lucknow and two in Delhi — in connection with the multi-crore Rohtas Projects fraud. The searches continued until the last reports came in. The ED also seized documents and papers, for which a forensic audit will be conducted. The probe stems from an ECIR registered in 2021 based on 48 FIRs filed by home and commercial space buyers, which have since risen to 88. A forensic audit by UP RERA pegged the proceeds of crime (POC) at Rs 248 crore. The firm's promoter brothers — Piyush Rastogi, Paresh Rastogi, and Deepak Rastogi — have been absconding for four years. ED sources said no property attachments were made by them so far due to a lack of evidence and the accused's non-cooperation. The searches aim to gather crucial records and trace assets for attachment under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Sources privy to the probe revealed that the agency questioned the son of absconding Piyush Rastogi in Lucknow. The promoters or their legal representatives could not be contacted immediately for a comment on the ED action against them. In Oct 2023, a Lucknow court issued an order for confiscating property worth Rs 21 crore belonging to one Paresh Rastogi, accused in 82 cases registered against him since 2017 at various police stations. Total assets worth Rs 137 crore were confiscated by Lucknow police. The cases against the accused were registered in Hazratganj, Gautam Palli, Chinhat, Vibhuti Khand, and Gosaiganj police stations. Paresh Rastogi entered into the world of crime in 2007 and started buying and selling land/buildings. "To hide the money earned from crime, the accused formed a company named Rohtas Project Ltd. The accused then started purchasing property in the name of his company and in favour of his family members through benami transactions, and further properties were created illegally by using the property acquired through crime," said the officer. "Rastogi first defrauded people of crores of rupees in the name of constructing residential/commercial buildings and did not even provide residential/commercial buildings. When people wanted to withdraw their money, he kept giving them false consolation and tricking them for a long time and suppressed their voice due to his dominance," the officer added. CBI's anti-corruption bureau of the Lucknow unit has also registered a case against Rohtas Builders in connection with an alleged fraud worth Rs 16.87 crore.
