Nagpur Police seize scammer builder’s Property worth Rupees 40 Crores

In an interesting development Economic Offences wing of Nagpur police has seized property of high profile builders  worth Rupees 40 crores. Normally police and even courts doesn’t consider such cases of criminal nature they put it under carpet of civil cases.However in this case police not only registered this case under section 420 of IPC but also successfully seized  builders property.






It is alleged that Mukesh Jham and  Hemant Jham have created one of the biggest real estate scam in Nagpur running into several crores. So far they have looted hundreds of middle class customers of their lifetime savings. There are more than 100 complaints filed against them in sonegaon police station of Nagpur. People have  also started online petition against them.

In this instant case  one  Shrikant Ramchandra Janbandhu resident of Samta Nagar, Kumbhar  Toli finalized to purchase the row house No. 101 for the consideration  amount of Rs.11,99,000/­ and he paid Rs.2,39,800/­ as part payment  to the applicant and agreement to that effect was executed on  01­11­2011.  In the said agreement, the applicant had assured that he  will give the said row house within 18 months. However after not getting  possetion even after 4 years he filed FIR under section 420 IPC i.e cheating.

Jham Builders  had undertaken the   development and  construction of Khasara No. 108 and 109 of Patwari Halka No. 46 at  Mouza   Waghdhar, Taluka Hingna.  They had  invited the willing purchasers  to invest their amount for booking of the flats and row houses.   However they could not complete the project in time. They gave explanation that the suit land comes under Metro Region and  therefore,  had sought the permission from Nagpur Improvement Trust  to clear this land and for this, the construction work was  started belated  because the sanction of Nagpur Improvement Trust was mandatory to  complete the scheme of row houses and flats.  

Not satisfied with builders explanations Shrikant  Janbandhu and others filed a FIR with sonegaon police station. The court had also assumed that matter was of civic nature and also criticized Police for relying  rely upon the submission of the applicants. However Police later on successfully seized Jham builders property.
