A father-son builder duo were booked for allegedly cheating four people of Rs1.8 crore by promising them flats in privately redeveloped buildings in Mumbai. The duo ran Ashana Constructions and collected money at their office in Karishma Plaza on Pushpa Park Road in Malad (East). As more time passed by, the flat buyers confronted them and found that they had sold the redevelopment rights to some other builder. They then approached the Dindoshi police where an FIR was filed for cheating and criminal breach of trust under the IPC by Jayesh Parekh, 62. Cops said the duo preferred people who paid in cash and gave them receipts, agreements and security cum allotment letters.
