According to the complainant, she is building a house in Balaji colony from April 2019.

“According to the statement given by Desai, we have registered a case at Wakad police station. We have also appeal to residents to come forward and register a complaint if they have been cheated similarly,” said a police official from Wakad police station.

A case has been registered under Section 420 (Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at Wakad police station..
