New Delhi: A real life Khosla ka Ghosla, a film about a simple middle-class man duped of his life's saving by a land shark, has played out in the Capital but not without a happy ending. The Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has arrested a father-son duo - Ramesh Chand Aggarwal and son Neeraj - for selling land belonging to the Ministry of Civil Aviation in Lodhi Colony to a victim for Rs.12 crore.
They had floated a fake company named Maha Maya Builders and had duped many investors of crores of rupees on the pretext of selling them land in 'prime location' at 'reasonable rates'. Investigators said more people associated with them were likely to be arrested in the coming days. "They started identifying disputed properties as well as vacant government land. They found one such government land in A-2, Karbala Lane, Lodhi Road, which belonged to the Ministry of Civil Aviation. They first removed the government hoarding from the land and then prepared fake property documents. A Delhi-based businessman named Ajay Chaudhary was then sold the land," an investigating official said.
Initially happy with the deal, Chaudhary sensed something was amiss when the accused reportedly started avoiding him. He then approached the police and a case was registered with the EOW.
