The Bureau of Economic Offences Wing of the state government has registered cases against a builder and five others in Jabalpur who had collected money fraudulently from 83 persons promising houses to them.

Sources said that Vinay Daya Pandey, son of Brajbhushan Pandey, resident of Sangam Colony, Jabalpur owns the M/s Sai Bridge Contractor Company. In connivance with Tapasann Bengali, Basant Sunder Suller, Shyam Sunder, Sanjay Solanki and Subhash Patel, the builder promised people to arrange easy bank loan for construction of houses. On producing of documents, the accused themselves took loan to the tune of Rs 2.67 crore from the Gorakhpur based Sand Bank on the name of the 83 persons. Out of the loaned amount, Rs 2.63 crore were deposited in their personal account. The builder had produced in the bank the identity cards and other necessary documents of the 83 victims.

The main accused Vinay Daya Pandey had made agreements with the victims to provide them economic houses at a colony near Jabalpur. He also got signature of the victims on plain papers and transferred the loan amount into the account of himself and the co-accused persons. Without the help of the bank officials and employees, this fraud could not have been successfully completed. When the victims came to know about the fraud, they complained to the Bureau of Economic Offences Wing.

After thorough investigation on the case, the Bureau registered cases against the six accused persons.
