The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the State Crime Branch (CB) on Thursday arrested Darubrahma Builders Pvt ltd managing director Ashok Ghadei (30) for duping an Odia woman now based in Qatar of `4 crore.
According to Crime Branch DIG Rajesh Kumar, Ghadei had taken `4 crore from Subhra Mohanty after promising her ownership of over 100 acres of land deal in and around Cuttack between 2009 and 2012. Mohanty, a resident of Palaspalli in Bhubaneswar, had approached Ghadei for the land deal to start an NGO at the plot.Ghadei, who hails from Kendrapada was running his office at Saheed Nagar in Bhubaneswar, failed to hand over the promised land within the specified time.
After getting no response from the accused on her repeated contacts, the victim lodged a complaint at the lalbagh police station in Cuttack on October 26 last year.On February 14 this year, the EOW took the case after the police failed to reach any conclusion. “During interrogation, we have got to know that out of 100 acres of land promised by Ghadei he had given documents of seven acres of land which is found to be correct and the documents of the remaining land are fake,” the DIG said.The EOW seized a four-wheeler having registration number- OD02B5066 from the possession of the builder.
