According to CCS officials, in 2016, the duo had established Crystal Constructions at Tolichowki and executed development agreements with the land owners for development of property with 50-50 share.
“By showing those development agreements, they collected nearly Rs. 20 crores in the form of deposits from the local people as well as Non-Resident Indians. They used the funds for their personal use causing loss to the depositors,” said the officials.
Based on a complaint, the police team nabbed them when they were planning to flee the country to avoid returning deposits.
