Man cheated of 16L in apartment deal
Rajkot: A man named Manoj Rathod filed a complaint at Metoda GIDC police station in Rajkot district, alleging that he was cheated in a real estate deal eight years ago. He lodged a complaint for criminal breach of trust against Umesh Vaghela, Nilesh Lunagariya, Shreyansh Bhanderi, Brijesh Patel, Anish Mehta, Jignesh Patel and Haresh Sojitra. According to Rathod, Umesh Vaghela — a real estate broker — in 2017 persuaded him to invest in a flat in Purva Heights, an under-construction building at Mota Vada village of Lodhika taluka. Vaghela assured him that the building would be complete in two years. He also helped Rathod get Rs 16 lakh from a finance company. Rathod signed a sale agreement at the sub-registrar's office, which listed Purva Infrastructure partners as the sellers. After paying three loan instalments, construction came to a halt. Repeated attempts to contact Vaghela and the others involved failed. With the flat still incomplete, Rathod stopped his loan payments, leading to mounting bank notices and unpaid dues. As Rathod has not yet received possession of the flat and no progress has been made on the building, he registered a police complaint for cheating.

Hyderabad Man Out On Walk Shot Dead By 4. They First Threw Chilli Powder
Hyderabad: A 47-year-old man was shot dead while on a morning walk a kilometre from his home in Hyderabad this morning. Preliminary investigations indicate three to four unidentified men arrived in a white Swift car. They reportedly threw chilli powder at the man's face to disorient him before opening fire, leading to his immediate death. The attackers then fled the scene in the same vehicle. The victim, K Chandu Rathod alias Chandu Naik, is said to belong to the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the prime suspect has been identified as Rajesh, from CPI-ML. The shooting took place near Shalivahana Nagar Park in Malakpet. Hyderabad Police Commissioner CV Anand told NDTV that there appears to be no political or Maoist angle to the murder, suggesting personal enmity and a land dispute as the primary motive. Deputy Commission of Police S Chaitanya Kumar of the South East Zone said that CCTV footage has captured images of the vehicles involved, though not directly of the shooting. The victim's family has informed the police that Rathod had an ongoing feud with Rajesh, a CPI (ML) leader from Devaruppala and a business associate. Rajesh is currently considered the prime suspect in the case, with the rivalry stemming from a land dispute. Commissioner Anand also revealed that Chandu Rathod himself was an accused in two previous murder cases. Rathod is survived by his wife, a daughter, and a son. His body has been moved to Osmania General Hospital for post-mortem examination, and a murder case has been registered.
