Mumbai EOW Re-Arrests Builder Abhishek Vyas in Housing Fraud Cases After Eight YearsPreviousNext

Mumbai police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has re-arrested builder Abhishek Vyas after nearly eight years on the run. Vyas, director of A A Shelters, faces six cases involving alleged cheating, criminal breach of trust, and violations related to a 25-crore housing fraud that affected around 40 flat buyers. He was initially arrested during investigations in 2015-2016, granted bail, but absconded in 2018. He was apprehended at a Santacruz hotel and remanded to judicial custody.
