Fresh cheating complaint filed against arrested Bengal businessman Joy Kamdar
There is a businessman in Kolkata, India, named Joy Kamdar.
The police think he was involved in taking land from people in a wrong way.
Now, a new complaint has been filed against him and his brother Tushar.
A man says they promised to share the money from a housing project with him.
He says he was supposed to get 25 out of every 100 rupees of profit.
The houses were built on an expensive piece of land, but he says he got only a very small amount of money.
He also says they pretended the agreement did not exist.
Because of this, the police are now investigating what happened.
Joy Kamdar had earlier asked to help the enforcement officers with another land case.
A court will decide whether he can do that by August 25.
A fresh complaint has been filed against Joy Kamdar and his brother Tushar Kamdar of Kolkata's Sun Constructions, accusing them of cheating by promising to make people shareholders in their business.
The complainant claims he was promised 25 percent of the total profit for arranging a housing project on an expensive property on Nepal Bhattacharya Street in Kolkata.
After the construction work was completed, the accused allegedly gave the complainant very little money, denied the terms of the agreement, and took possession of the property through betrayal and fraud.
The complaint was filed under criminal conspiracy and cheating, and the police have started investigating the incident.
Kamdar has approached the Enforcement Directorate seeking approver status in the illegal land-grabbing probe, and the special PMLA court has given the ED until August 25 to convey its decision.
