Hyderabad Real Estate Scam: Jayatri Group Defrauds Investors of Rs 300 Crore
Hundreds of middle-class investors have lost over Rs 300 crore to Jayatri Real Estate Pvt. Ltd., which promised low-cost residential plots in Gopanpally, Hyderabad. The company's main accused, Kakarla Srinivas, and 19 other directors are now under scrutiny.

Victims allege that the company lured them with glitzy brochures, pre-launch offers, and high-pressure marketing calls, promising prime plots at discounted prices. Investors were shown a luxurious corporate office in HB Colony 6th Phase, staffed with over 100 employees, to reinforce the illusion of legitimacy.
The land didn’t even belong to the company
According to complaints, the company claimed plots would be handed over within two years. Individual investments ranged from Rs 20 lakh to Rs 1.8 crore. However, after the promised period lapsed, investors say they were met with repeated delays and excuses. Shockingly, when some victims visited the project site, they discovered that the land belonged to an entirely different company, confirming their worst fears of being defrauded.
Accused was out on bail, has a record of such scams
The main accused, Kakarla Srinivas, reportedly founded Jayatri Group in February 2021 along with 19 other directors. Their first venture, Hilton Jaya Diamond, was launched with significant fanfare. Srinivas and a few others were arrested but are currently out on bail. Sources also allege that the same group had previously pulled off a similar scam in Rajahmundry.
Victims demand government action
Speaking to media persons, the victims, including Varma Kumar, Murthy, Prasad, Ganesh, and others, expressed their anguish. They revealed that despite lodging complaints with the police, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and the Human Rights Commission, no concrete action has been taken. They urged the governments of both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to intervene, arrest the accused, seize their assets, and ensure that justice is delivered. “We come from middle-class families. Every rupee we invested was hard-earned. We demand swift action before more families fall prey to such scams,” said one of the affected buyers.
With victims now uniting and raising their voices publicly, pressure is mounting on authorities to act decisively. Legal experts suggest that affected parties pursue both civil and criminal remedies while coordinating through a registered victims’ association.
