Pune Builder Booked for Alleged Rs 80 Lakh Investment Fraud CasePreviousNext

Pune police have registered a case against builder Yogesh Ambadas Deshpande, director of Deshpande Landmark Pvt. Ltd., for allegedly cheating businessman Vishal Arun Honrao of Rs 80 lakh. Honrao invested the amount between 2021 and 2025 after Deshpande promised to double the investment within three years.
