The accused have been identified as Ashish Waman Belekar (42), Nalini Waman Belekar (65), Indrayani Atul Wasnik (40), all residents of NIT Colony, Vaishali Nagar, Jaripatka, and Jitu Thakur alias Jitendra Ghevtonde (broker), resident of Gorewada, Nagpur.
Police said the four accused conspired together and told the complainant that the plots belonged to accused Nalini Belekar. They finalised the deal at Rs 1.60 crore.
Trusting the accused, the complainant paid Rs 60,50,000 through RTGS and cheques as per the agreement. However, when he later verified the documents provided by the accused, including the sale deed agreement, possession receipt, and no-objection certificates, he discovered that all papers were fake and fabricated.
When the complainant demanded his money back, the accused returned only Rs 10 lakh and failed to refund the remaining amount. Police said the accused prepared forged documents of someone else’s property, executed a fraudulent agreement, and cheated the complainant of Rs 50.50 lakh.
Based on the complaint and preliminary inquiry, Woman API Mangala Wakde registered an offence at Jaripatka Police Station under Sections 318(4), 316(2), and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Further investigation is underway.
