Mohit Gogia arrested over Rs 200-crore Delhi bungalow fraud
Some people in Delhi wanted to buy very fancy houses.
A man named Mohit Gogia came to them and said he could get them a beautiful old bungalow very close to the Prime Minister's home.
He said the bank had taken the house and was selling it for a much lower price.
But the bank later said it never planned to sell that house, and Gogia's papers were fake.
One family gave him a really huge amount of money — more than forty crore rupees.
Gogia kept promising they could move in soon, but the house was never theirs.
When the family asked for their money back, the cheques he gave them bounced.
Police found many other people who said the same thing had happened to them.
The police arrested Gogia and several other people involved.
They are still looking for another man they think may have been the boss of the whole plan.
Delhi Police arrested businessman Mohit Gogia over an alleged Rs 200-crore property fraud centred on a bungalow at No. 9, Amrita Shergill Marg, near the Prime Minister's residence.
Gogia allegedly used forged documents to claim the property was seized by the State Bank of India (SBI) and would be auctioned for about Rs 75 crore; SBI told police it never listed the bungalow for auction.
The Bansal family, linked to the Unity Group, paid Rs 43 crore by October 2024, and together with a promised Gurgaon Sector 63 plot the two transactions totalled around Rs 135 crore.
Police found at least 12 cases against Gogia across India, including a woman who paid Rs 12.5 crore for a promised DLF Camellias apartment and dealer Braham Singh Tanwar, offered Gurgaon land and a DLF Magnolias flat for Rs 31 crore.
Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) arrested six people, including Gogia, his wife Shweta Gogia and Abhinav Pathak, while probing financier Ram Singh as a possible mastermind; Singh denies the allegations.
