According to police, Narendra Wahane and his brother Vijay Wahane had duped many people to the tune of Rs 1.65 crore in dubious land deals.

The accused had shown him four plots at Gayatri Nagar, IT Park, and negotiated a deal. Singh had transferred Rs 72.40 lakh through RTGS after the online registry and sale deed of the four plots.
