Ahmedabad Crime Branch on Monday arrested three more accused in the multi-crore cheating case of NA Construction that duped hundreds of buyers by promising houses at affordable rates. The group launched housing schemes in different parts of the city and collected money from the buyers but didn't construct apartments. A cheating complaint which was first filed with Chand kheda police was transferred to Crime Branch later.
Acting on a tip-off, the police arrested key accused Nilesh Shah, 48, a resident of Shiv Ganesh society in Thaltej gaam, Ritesh Patel, 38, a resident of Shree Avenue in Ghatlodia, from S G Highway and Nilesh Shah's father Mukundrai Shah, 85, who was evading arrest for the last two months. Earlier, Crime Branch had caught Rupesh alias Naniyo Shah, 39, a resident of Joshi was in Navrangpura gaam, and secured his remand. During the investigation, the police came to know that NA Constructions has two bank accounts with Punjab National Bank and AXIS Bank.
"The accused accepted booking amount from about 3,000 people for 2,200 houses. The accused collected Rs 11,000 from each member and after a draw of lot they accepted Rs 2.5 lakh from each buyer. After collecting the money, they asked the buyers to wait for some time. However, when construction did not take off and people started demanding their money back, they went underground," said the police. It was Girish Khatri, a resident of Kanti Park in Ghatlodia, who lodged a complaint against the accused that unearthed the scam.
