ED Attaches Rs 129.80 Crore Assets in Ahmedabad Real Estate Fraud CasePreviousNext

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached immovable assets worth Rs 129.80 crore linked to an alleged real estate fraud in Ahmedabad involving Ronak Sonani, Vipul Gangani, and others. The accused reportedly cheated homebuyers and investors by marketing projects without required approvals and promising high returns, while failing to deliver properties or refund money. The ED advised buyers to verify RERA registration, title documents, and avoid cash deals, urging them to report suspicious builder practices to authorities.
