A police complaint in Ahmedabad alleges that a 42-year-old Bodakdev businessman was cheated of Rs 58.92 crore after three people involved in construction and land-clearance work allegedly took control of land documents by promising to resolve disputes and deliver profits from a proposed construction scheme.
The complaint was filed by Chintanbhai Rajendrabhai Rami, who invests in land and the stock market, against Deepakbhai Hirpara, Harshal Hirpara and Jignesh Hirpara. According to the complaint reported by Gujarat Samachar, the dealings began in February 2022 after the accused allegedly contacted Rami in Bodakdev.
The complainant told police that the three men assured him they would resolve disputes affecting his land. To meet the related expenses, a plot was allegedly agreed to be sold for Rs 40 crore. After the documents were executed, the accused allegedly paid about Rs 25 crore and retained the remaining Rs 15 crore on the grounds that it would be used for cash payments connected with clearing the land. The complaint further alleges that they obtained vouchers bearing Rami’s signatures.
During October 2022 and 2023, the parties allegedly entered into another arrangement involving 56,000 square yards of land. The total value of that land was fixed at Rs 120 crore, with Rami’s share stated to be Rs 60 crore. According to the complaint, only Rs 33 crore was paid, leaving Rs 27 crore outstanding.
The complainant also alleged that, in transactions involving other survey numbers, Rs 36,84,99,487 was due, of which Rs 16,92,16,487 was allegedly not paid. When Rami sought the outstanding amounts, the accused allegedly told him that the money would instead be treated as an investment in a new construction scheme on the land and that he would receive substantial profits.
The complaint states that the accused subsequently obtained documents for all the lands in their names. Rami alleged that no written agreement was provided for the proposed investment after the documents were executed. He also alleged that repeated requests for an account of the money and written investment terms were rejected.
According to the complaint, the accused later attributed Rs 90 crore to land-clearance expenses. Rami has alleged that this was a false expense figure and that the three men retained Rs 58,92,16,487 for their personal benefit through promises linked to land clearance and construction profits.
The case places land documentation, disputed development costs and informal investment promises at the centre of a high-value real-estate dispute. The supplied report does not include responses from the three accused or details of any arrests, recovery of documents or further police action. The allegations remain subject to investigation and due legal process.
