According to police, the accused lured depositors with false promises of high returns on real estate investments. Since 2021, he and his associates operated under the guise of a legitimate business, collecting funds and diverting them into other ventures. The accused reportedly executed agreements of sale, MoUs, and sale deeds to create an illusion of legal security. However, in most cases, neither were plots registered nor funds returned.
In one scheme, investors were promised 50% returns on deposits ranging from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh after one year. In the buyback scheme, land would be registered in the investor’s name and later “bought back” by the company with added returns. Under the pre-launch scheme, 2BHK flats were offered at low prices in high-rise or semi-gated projects, with promises of possession within two years and high profits.
Police said these were part of a premeditated plan to mislead investors by falsely claiming ownership of land and launching fictitious projects. The Economic Offences Wing is now conducting a detailed investigation to trace other accused individuals, recover the diverted funds, and return the money to the victims.
The arrest of Gogula Lakshmi Vijaya Kumar is a significant step in the ongoing efforts to combat financial fraud and protect the interests of investors in the real estate sector. The police are urging any potential victims who have not yet come forward to report their cases and provide any additional information that could aid the investigation.
AV Infracon Pvt Ltd, a company that claimed to specialize in real estate development, is now under scrutiny. The company’s operations and financial records are being thoroughly examined to uncover the extent of the fraud and to ensure that justice is served for all affected parties.
