Fraud in the name of Jewar Airport
In fact, after the complaint, the police investigation revealed that the three accused from Bihar had been defrauding people for many years by developing illegal colonies around Jewar Airport and in the name of fake projects. To lure investors, the accused first organized tea and breakfast, then a luxurious dinner. After this, through sweet talk and false promises, they lured them with huge profits in projects approved by the Yamuna Authority. The lands of many farmers were grabbed at throwaway prices, while lakhs and crores of rupees were collected from the investors.
SP Rural Amrit Jain told in the press conference that the modus operandi of the accused was very clever. They would call investors to expensive hotels, claim to have connections with YEIDA and Industrial Authority to win their trust. After this, they would commit huge fraud by showing fake documents.

During the investigation, the police found that the accused had bought luxurious houses, agricultural land, plots, expensive vehicles and gold and silver with the money earned from fraud. A total of Rs 60 crore 89 lakh 49 thousand 195 was confiscated under legal action. This includes 16 plots and 50 flats. The police said that the process of returning the money to the victims will be started by auctioning this property.
Network of thugs from Bihar
All the three arrested accused are residents of Bihar, and several cases are already registered against them.
