The duo was arrested in Gopanpally, Gachibowli, following a complaint lodged by Chakka Sudhir, one of the victims of their alleged scheme. The case, registered as Crime No. 28/2024, has been booked under sections 406 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code, alongside section 5 of the Telangana Protection of Depositors of Financial Establishments (TSPDFE) Act.
According to the police, the accused couple had been running a real estate company, Amacon Developers Pvt. Ltd., which promised high returns on investments. Several investors, including Chakka Sudhir, had invested a total of ₹1,02,89,000 in the company, but the investments bore no returns, and the promised land registration never materialized.
The police investigation revealed that the couple had lured investors into their scheme by initially providing returns, thereby encouraging further investments. They had claimed to have launched a residential gated community at Chevella and presented false documentation to substantiate their claims of owning land. Written agreements were provided to investors, but they lacked critical information such as survey numbers and were unregistered.
The breakdown of sums involved includes
Chakka Sudhir ₹60,00,000
Pranoy ₹17,89,000
K. Vaidehi ₹25,00,000
The accused couple is also implicated in three other cases (Crime Nos. 340/2024, 350/2024, and 370/2024) filed at Chaitanyapuri Police Station under Rachakonda jurisdiction.
Following their arrest, the accused were presented before the EOW Police Station in Cyberabad and were subsequently remanded to judicial custody. Another individual involved in the case, Shashikanth, is currently at large and remains unarrested.
