By GeoSquare News Desk · Published 2026-11-07

Mumbai Police have registered a fresh FIR against Rajendra Lodha, former director of Lodha Developers, and five others over an alleged ₹6.67 crore property fraud. This marks another legal setback for the once-prominent developer, who is already facing multiple cases related to financial irregularities.

Details of the Case

The FIR was filed based on a complaint accusing Lodha and his associates of cheating a homebuyer in a Pune-based project. The complainant alleges that funds were collected for a property that was never delivered, and the money was diverted. The police have initiated an investigation under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.

Impact on Property Buyers

This development underscores the importance of due diligence when investing in real estate. Buyers are advised to verify project approvals, track record of developers, and legal clearances before committing funds. The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) provides a platform for grievance redressal, but proactive checks are essential.

Legal Proceedings Ahead

The accused are expected to appear before the court as the investigation progresses. Legal experts suggest that such cases could lead to prolonged litigation, affecting the recovery of funds for aggrieved parties. Investors should stay informed about the status of their investments and seek legal counsel if needed.
