Property developer Sunil Dahiya, a director of Vigneshwara Developers Private Ltd has been arrested by the Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi Police for allegedly duping scores of investors to the tune of Rs 160 crore.
Dahiya was wanted by the EOW in three cases which were registered at its Mandir Marg Police Station.
"These cases were registered in connection of two projects launched by Vigneshwara Developers Pvt Ltd and its group companies at Manesar, Gurgaon and Sector-74, Gurgaon. Approximately 700 investors had invested in these projects.
"We had received complaints from nearly 350 investors who have been allegedly cheated to the tune of Rs 160 Crores by the directors of the accused company," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (EOW) Mangesh Kashyap.
Dahiya was avoiding his arrest for quite some time and was staying at various five star hotels in the city to avoid being tracked.
Police had got specific information yesterday that Sunil Dahiya will be visiting Sunder Nagar in Delhi following which a trap was laid by a police team.
"As soon as he arrived at the spot in a chauffer driven BMW car, he was apprehended. We have recovered eight mobile phones, one I-pod, one laptop, various credit/debit cards and other documents from him and his car. The BMW Car in which accused was traveling has also been seized. Purchased in 2013, the car is registered in the name of Vigneshwara Developers Pvt Ltd," said Kashyap.
According to police, it has been alleged in all three cases registered with EOW that the directors of Vigneshwara Developers, identified as Sunil Dahiya, Sanjay Dahiya and Daryao Singh induced them by way of media advertisement as well as by way of personal assurances to invest in the twin projects.
