Earlier Investors in temple rose real estate (TRRE) schemes were running from pillar to post when they realized cheating. But things were not going in positive way because  the stooges of company were already mixed with them pretending themselves  as gullible investors. These stooges were misguiding real investors.However Now Economic offences ( EoW) wing of Pune Police has taken positive initiative and has decided to have dialogue with investors of TRRE investors.The dialogue will be held at the conference hall at headquarters of pune police in camp at 9.30 AM to 11.oo AM on Saturday 1st april 2017.Inspector Rajesh Puranik ( Phone No 9870196071) of EoW will listen investors complaints

The basic problem with such investors is that, they never see or insist for correct document when they invest. This thing becomes hurdle in to file or lodge a complaint.The  operators of such schemes promise victims high returns on their investments but instead of investing their funds, the perpetrator use their commitments to pay off earlier losses and take a cut for themselves. As the scheme progresses, the number of victims and the size of their combined losses grow exponentially.These operators appoint smart staff and agents. Most of the time staff and agents get paid more than what they deserve and hence they don’t hesitate to deceive own relatives or acquaintances .

EVMs may not be but system is vulnerable to fraud ...

While Arvind Kejriwal and Mayavati are criticizing Electronic Voting Machines Anna Hazare has ridiculed these accusations of sore loser.No doubt Electronic Voting Machines (EVM)  are safe in protected environment and there may be rival arguments on whether EVMs are vulnerable to fraud or not.There are several possibilities that definitely raise doubts. In this post I don’t want to make any allegations but want to put plain facts that point the finger at entire  procedure followed in Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC ) elections. These facts are based on documents provided by election department. Election commission has to clarify on those doubts.


In  ward no 33 around 5 ballot units were changed without any reason or notice to candidates and in same ward  in around 21 booths sequence of ballot unit was changed. However due to lack of awareness nobody complained. This is something very serious. Before actual voting day EVM's were sealed in presence of candidates or their representatives. So question of change  of ballot units or their sequence  doesn't arise at all.

This time in PMC elections were conducted panel wise.Each ward electors had to elect 4 candidates. Elections were conducted in February 2017. 21 February was actual voting day and on 23 results were declared. But before that on 15th February  as per procedure EVMs were checked randomised , allotted booth wise, sequence wise  and sealed in presence of candidate or their representatives. Sequence of candidates was also set on the same day .Copies of serial no of booth wise ballot units (Bu) , Control unit and sequence of candidates set were given to candidate. ( see Annexure 1).

As all the BU and CU were sealed and kept in tight security question of  any change in it does not arise at all. However on actual polling day (21st February)  when polling staff opened Ballot units serial no’s of units were different from those recorded and sealed on 15th February. In booth no 10,12,28, 49 and 50  Ballot unit numbers were P44052, P 43551, MO22334, P143888 & P14390 respectively (see Annexure 1).But on  actual poling day those were P14992, P11947, MO23334, P 14386 & Mo 27617 respectively ( Annexure2) . If on voting day Ballot units are found faulty they can be changed after following proper procedure. Then how come these ballot units were changed ? Isn’t this serious?.

Control Unit numbers are also different in booth no 24 and 30 in copy handed over to candidate those were M22232 and M 21591 but on actual polling day those were changed to  7507 and 21595 respectively ( Annexure 3). In some cases on polling day control unit or ballot unit numbers were not recorded at all ( Annexure 4)

Sequence of ballot units was also changed in almost 20 booths. As per rules  Ballot Unit should be connected to control unit according sequence allotted to them only. Changing that sequence amounts to exchange of votes to another candidates. In ward no 33 almost on 20 booths sequence of  ballot units was changed. In booth no 1,5,8,11,15, 17,18,2224,32,40,54,57,62,65,66,71,76 and  79 ballot unit 1 was connected  to 2 and 2 to 1 (Annexture 5). This is also serious because machine doesn’t read panel number or names of candidates . It reads numbers serially.


In the nutshell somebody from the system itself or from outside had access to the sealed machines and strong rooms. Election commissions has to clarify on these issues.

VIJAYKUMBHAR.COM a Project Specific & Private Real Estate Discussion Forum for Affected People

Our Mission is to educate and motivate flat, plot, land buyers to take adequate precaution before and after the investment in real estate projects. Normally people do not dare and unite to ask builders uncomfortable questions or problems they face. VIJAYKUMBHAR.COM is the place where people without disclosing their identity can discuss on the projects they have invested in. Unless affected people unite they are not able to take proper step in case of any problems. This forum will be for discussion as well as for guidance from other  members and team of vijaykumbhar.com. Members of particular forum will decide on their own to take  or not any action regarding that specific project if needed.This is a subscription based forum . 


Time and again, government brings in restrictions and imposes prohibitions to protect buyers of property, be it land, plot, apartments or bungalows. Despite that, scams and scandals keep surfacing on a regular basis. Builders and project proponents of plotting schemes, find loopholes in laws and regulations, play different tricks, play with words, and give deceptive promises and so on. They run scams like selling proposed N-A Plots, Villa plots, farmhouses, affordable housing, promising to double your money by investing in plotting or plantation schemes  etc. They never fulfill promises they give to flat buyers. They appoint smart staff and agents. Most of the time, staff and agents get paid more than what they deserve and hence they don’t hesitate to deceive own relatives or acquaintances.

It is not the case that government official don’t understand or are not aware of such cases but they are hand in glove with promoters of such schemes and land mafias and so they turn a blind eye to such crimes. For buyers or small investors, it is difficult to know what is right and what is wrong. They do not understand how to move forward if there is problem with a project they have invested money in or if they have bought a flat. So what is the remedy?

One should always take ample care before investing in any scheme. Discuss it before & after investing in it. But the basic problem is buyers or small investors of such schemes are always scared and scattered. They do not dare to ask anything to builders or promoters of such schemes.

To discuss such matters we introduce VIJAYKUMBHAR.COM, a project specific private discussion forum. In this forum, members are supposed to share the information and discuss regarding that specific real estate project only. That will help, proposed or existing buyers to find out the truth, factual problems of specific real estate projects and to decide future course of action, if any.

We assure complete secrecy of member’s identity and also assure that we will not allow any building or plotting project to advertise on VIJAYKUMBHAR.COM unless we are satisfied with the credentials of that particular project.


To enable  team of VIJAYKUMBHAR.COM to guide forum, initially we will start forums on projects in Pune and Mumbai revenue area only. That means these forums will be for existing and proposed  residential, plotting or any other real estate  projects in  Pune , Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane , Palghar, Satara , Sangli, Kolhapur, Ratnagiri, Raigad, Sindhudurg and Sholapur districts only
