ED Registers Seven Heera Group Properties Auctioned for Rs 15.03 Crore to Repay Investors
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Hyderabad has completed the registration of seven immovable properties of the Heera Group, auctioned for Rs 15.03 crore. The properties include six flats in Shaikpet and a house in Banjara Hills. Proceeds will be transferred to the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) to compensate victims of the alleged Ponzi scheme led by Nowhera Shaik, who reportedly defrauded investors of over Rs 5,978 crore with promises of high returns. The auction followed Supreme Court orders permitting the sale to maximize restitution.
