Pune Police Investigate Two Major Land-Related Fraud Cases Involving Crore-Scale LossesPreviousNext

Two separate fraud cases in Pune involve significant financial losses related to land and property disputes. In one case, a 50-year-old man was booked for allegedly cheating a resident of 26 lakh by promising to restore his name on ancestral property records over nearly four years. In another, five individuals were arrested for allegedly cheating a businessman of 5.7 crore by illegally selling disputed land without consent amid ongoing court litigation. Both cases are under police investigation with further actions pending.
