ED files chargesheet against 41 in Rs 1,000 crore Gurugram housing fraud

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday filed a formal chargesheet in a Gurgaon court, naming 41 persons alleged to have been involved in a massive housing fraud estimated at Rs 1,000 crore. The filing follows a prolonged investigation into a real‑estate scheme that purported to sell residential units but reportedly misappropriated funds from homebuyers. According to the chargesheet, the accused used forged documents and false promises to collect large sums from investors, while the promised projects remained incomplete or were never initiated. The ED has attached supporting evidence, including bank records and property documents, to substantiate the allegations. The accused now face charges under the Prevention of Money‑Laundering Act and other relevant statutes, and the case will proceed to trial in the Gurgaon district court.
