Pune Gangster, Builders Booked for Land Grab and Property FraudPrevious
Next

Pune police have booked gangster Suryakant alias Bandu Andekar and two builders for alleged land grab and property fraud. A 70-year-old man filed a complaint accusing them of cheating him out of apartments and money from a residential project developed on his land between 2009 and 2024. The FIR also mentions forged documents, bank loans, and illegal possession of property. This action follows increased scrutiny on Andekar's activities after the murder of Ayush Komkar, suspected to be linked to the earlier murder of Andekar's son.
