TRREPL Investment scam: 68 bank accounts frozen, 440 acres of land, car and 13 mobile phones seized by EoW Pune

68 bank accounts have been frozen and 440 acres of land, car, 13 mobile phones,  laptop, computer 7.5 lakh rupees cash and  deposits given towards house and office of the agents have been seized from directors, agents of crore Temple Rose Real Estate Pvt . Ltd (TRREPL ). Economic Offences Wing (EoW)  of Pune police has seize this property in 400 crore TRREPL  investment scam case. Surprisingly, though TRREPL scam is spread over all over Maharashtra and other states also and thousands of investors have been duped for hundreds of crores of rupees surprisingly no political party, leader or administration has uttered a single word about this case.


Truly Yours Forever or Cheaters Forever



EoW Pune City is investigating criminal case filed under section 409, 420, 467, 468, r/w. 34, 120 (b) IPC, sec. 3 of Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (In Financial Establishments) Act, sec. 3, 4, 5, of Prize Cheat and Money Circulation (Banning) Act, 1978 has been registered by Mrs. Nitin Shukla against the directors, promoters, office bearers, agents and other known and unknown persons concerned and connected with the TRREPL and Temple Rose Group of Companies (TRGC ).


After a long stay in Police Custody main accused in this case TRREPL director Devidas Sajnani and agent Ramesh Aghicha are still in magistrate custody while Keshav Narayan Iddya, Markas Yohan Thorat, Deepa Devidas Sajnani, Vanita Devidas Sajnani, Sunil Dada Gaji , Dharmesh Narendra Joshi, Sharmila Dharmesh Joshi , Kanhaiyalal Narayadas Sadhawani , Ashok Toalaram Pamnani , Sapna Ramesh Aghicha , Sweta Ramesh Aghicha and Shrikant Parmeshwar Jaiswal have applied for anticipatory bail.

Without political leaders’ or administration’s support it is impossible to  run any scam in India. The way TRREPL directors, their associates bought huge lands violating all the Land Laws in various parts of Maharashtra, indicates that they have support from political parties, leaders and administration also. Otherwise it is difficult for anybody to buy lands violating ceiling on holding Agricultural Lands, prevention of fragmentation of agriculture land. Nobody can buy agriculture land unless he is agriculturist. However TRREPL people who do not have seen the agriculture in their entire life easily managed to obtain agriculturist certificate.


One can imagine the reason behind political leaders’ or administration’s silence. We have earlier witnessed such silence after arrest of Mahesh Motewar of Samruddha Jeevan scam.  Almost every political party or leader had good relations with him. After his arrest only that support vanished. If we track other companies associated with TRREPL , Devidas Sajnani and his associates we can sense involvement of political persons.

Temple Rose Group of Companies (TRG) was not only involved in Real Estate or plotting scams it had also planned Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) scheme in the name of wellness industry. Glossy brochures were printed. They were  promising income of whopping 1.63 crore only in 14 months to the agents .TRG had also advertised wellness products like pills etc.


This is the list of properties of directors of Tempe Rose Group and their associate. small investors got nothing but directors created amazing land bank needs to seized by Authorities


TRREPL is not a small scam; thousands of investors have been duped by them. In Pingori ‘Rose City’ project itself more than 4000 investors had invested 5200 plots. They have 42 such schemes all over Maharashtra and more than 1300 hundred agents. With this number one can imagine number of investors and money involved in this scam. Out of 4000 investors of “Rose City “Pingori  project  more than 1000 are from defence establishments, large number of them are NRIs  and hence cannot file a complaint or depose before investigation Officer. That is the reason why only 200 complaints have been filed in EoW pune and few in Mumbai. Nobody from 42 other projects has come forward to lodge a complaint. And none of these investors in all these schemes have received any plot or their money back.


As the cases against TRREPL have been filed under Maharashtra Protection of interest of depositors Act ( MPID) also. Under this act authorities can seize, sell and compensate investors. But to happen those authorities have to recover proceeds of crime. Out of 1300 TRREPL agents some have received amount of more than one crore rupees. To avoid police custody some agents have shown willingness to deposit money received in this scam with police or court. However his number is very less. From others this money has to be recovered . Some of them have diverted these amounts to buy other properties or things. As per act these properties also have to be seized. And hence it is difficult for EoW Pune or Mumbai only to investigate and seize all the properties of TRREPL directors, agents and its associates. Considering these facts government needs to constitute Special Investigation Team ( SIT) or hand this case over to central Bureau of Investigation.

Nagpur Police seize scammer builder’s Property worth Rupees 40 Crores

In an interesting development Economic Offences wing of Nagpur police has seized property of high profile builders  worth Rupees 40 crores. Normally police and even courts doesn’t consider such cases of criminal nature they put it under carpet of civil cases.However in this case police not only registered this case under section 420 of IPC but also successfully seized  builders property.






It is alleged that Mukesh Jham and  Hemant Jham have created one of the biggest real estate scam in Nagpur running into several crores. So far they have looted hundreds of middle class customers of their lifetime savings. There are more than 100 complaints filed against them in sonegaon police station of Nagpur. People have  also started online petition against them.

In this instant case  one  Shrikant Ramchandra Janbandhu resident of Samta Nagar, Kumbhar  Toli finalized to purchase the row house No. 101 for the consideration  amount of Rs.11,99,000/­ and he paid Rs.2,39,800/­ as part payment  to the applicant and agreement to that effect was executed on  01­11­2011.  In the said agreement, the applicant had assured that he  will give the said row house within 18 months. However after not getting  possetion even after 4 years he filed FIR under section 420 IPC i.e cheating.

Jham Builders  had undertaken the   development and  construction of Khasara No. 108 and 109 of Patwari Halka No. 46 at  Mouza   Waghdhar, Taluka Hingna.  They had  invited the willing purchasers  to invest their amount for booking of the flats and row houses.   However they could not complete the project in time. They gave explanation that the suit land comes under Metro Region and  therefore,  had sought the permission from Nagpur Improvement Trust  to clear this land and for this, the construction work was  started belated  because the sanction of Nagpur Improvement Trust was mandatory to  complete the scheme of row houses and flats.  

Not satisfied with builders explanations Shrikant  Janbandhu and others filed a FIR with sonegaon police station. The court had also assumed that matter was of civic nature and also criticized Police for relying  rely upon the submission of the applicants. However Police later on successfully seized Jham builders property.

Interestingly Hemant Jham was thrashed and kidnapped from his office over money matter by 4 persons from Somalwada area in 2016 i.e after filling of FIR against him in sonegaon Police Station.. However the same sonegaon police in swift action,  not only rescued the builder but also arrested the four abductors within hours.

TRREPL Case; Classic example of Police Public Participation….

Case filed against Temple Rose Real Estate Pvt. Ltd ( TRREPL) plotting and investment fraud is classic example of Police Public participation (PPP) .And that is the reason why TRREPL director is behind bars and chances of getting  investors money back  have increased. Thanks to  Rajesh Puranik, Police inspector of Economic Offences Wing ( EoW) who under the guidance of Commissioner Rashmi Shukla and DCP Sudhir Hiremath not only had a proactive dialogue with TRREPL investors but also  invoked Maharashtra Protection of Interest of  Depositors  Act (MPID)  in this case. Under MPID competent  authorities can seize and sell accused persons properties .Even if accused have sold or transferred the property to third party , authorities can seize those also. In TRREPL case even though accused have transferred properties to third party authorities may seize those.


PI Rajesh Puranik with his team and Mubina Sanaula, Deepali Deshmukh , Rashmi Nehete,Prithviraj pardeshi,  and Pravin Jain in Mumbai at  Sajanani's residence
The MPID court yesterday extended TRREPL directors Devidas Sajnani’s police custody till 5th June. Other Directors of company are absconding and hearing on sajanani’s wife and Daughter’s interim bail application is also postponed till  5th June. The MPID Act, deals with a speedy remedy for recovery of payments in default and also provide remedy by criminal proceedings with stringent punishments and attachment of property. As per the Act, fraudulent default by a financial establishment attracts conviction for every person responsible for the management of the Establishment including the promoter, partner, director, manager or an employee.

Normally in plotting scams people don’t come forward to lodge a complaint because most of times  the agents involved in such scams are their own relatives or acquaintances .And hence investors don’t dare to file police complaints against their  own people. As well some times police also don’t take cognizance of such cases due to lack of sufficient proof. And that is the reason why PPP becomes more  important. Unless people help police in such matters they can not move forward.

PI Rajesh Puranik , accused Sajnani Showing land at Pingori

In TRREPL case the investors formed some teams to help police. A team of Mubina Sanaula, Deepali Deshmukh , Rashmi Nehete,Prithviraj pardeshi, Prathamesh Pore and Pravin Jain went all the way to Mumbai .In first round of visit they helped police to arrest Sajnani  under guidance of PI Rajesh Puranik  and in  second round they went to sajnani’s home to make panchnama of documents.Other team of  Rushikesh Chinchole, suvarna jagtap and Santosh Rahane along with police went to Pingori . Where Sajanani showed a peace of land that never belonged to him but had sold the plots under various schemes. Police made panchanama of Pingori land.

Devidas Sajnani showing his Flat in Mumbai


Helping police was not easy job for investors , because  TRREPL scam is organised crime also. Their stooges had already mixed up with genuine investors and misguiding them since long .They were also preventing them from filling complaint against TRREPL .Keeping all the activities  secret from stooges was really a tough job. Even then they managed it skilfully.

Team of TREPL investors Mubina Sanaula, Deepali Deshmukh , Rashmi Nehete,Prithviraj pardeshi,


In TRREPL there is team of 15 to 20 persons who  are involved in this entire scam as owners. TRREPL  directors have properties all over Maharashtra. If investors in TRREPL scam want their money back they have to keep the momentum going till the final outcome.

Pingori Land
Till date , under the MPID,  more than  200 cases of financial fraud have been registered , involving property worth Rs. 14.000 crore approximately .This number is very less if compared to unregistered cases. Unless investors dare to file complaint police can do nothing. Though number of investors helping police is very less compared to 5294 plots in Rose city scheme, They have shown the way. Now its up to other investors to come forward or not. Under MPID only the persons register the complaints may get it back.

Devidas Sajnani behind the bars, other plotting and investment scammers stunned !

After economic offences wing ( EoW)  arrested Devidas Sajnani of Temple Rose Real Estate pvt ltd ( TRREPL) many other such scammers are stunned as and perhaps that was the first time any plotting scammer has been put behind the bars. Normally such scammers go scott free because of lack of complaints.After his arrest deceived investors are coming forward to lodge the complaints. However some people are still scared to come forward. And that is the reason why  such scammers dare to cheat people on regular basis. In TRREPL case though I wrote a blog, had a dialogue with investors, EoW also had a dialogue with them even then things were not moving forward due to lack of complainant. Earlier nobody was ready to lodge a complaint or share documents with police. However when one of the investors in Rose City scheme Mrs Nitin shukla Tiwari lodged a complaint entire scenario changed.



After Mrs Tiwari’s complaint EoW Police Inspector Rajesh Puranik arrested Sajnani and brought him to pune. Looking in to gravity of the case EoW is also seeking help of Enforcement Directorate (ED).Though TRREPL director Sajnani is arrested , There are hundreds of such companies involved in same kind of cheating. Some of such companies are established by former employees of TRREPL only. Their modus operandi is also same as TRREPL. If people dare many such scammers will follow the suit. Unless people come forward such scams will not stop. For those who want to discuss such sham projects without disclosing their names, a facility has been provided on http://vijaykumbhar.com/Discussion_Forum.aspx As far TRREPL is concerned they have spread their net throughout Maharashtra and outside. List of some of  their projects is reproduced below. Last number against each projects shows the number of plot either sold or are for sale.

Temple Rose Plotting Scam Exposed

First they bought 176 hectors of land on one companies name, launched so called proposed non-agricultural land plotting project in another company’s  name and  then sold all the 176 hectors to different persons. Thus deceived thousands of investors. Recently Economic offences wing ( EoW) has registered Rs 90-crore investment fraud case against Temple Rose Real Estate Pvt Ltd's (TRREPL) in another case. EoW estimates that this fraud may go in 400 hundred crores or more. TRREPL has also deceived so many investors in its Pingori and other project also.

Rose City Pingori , Tal -Purandar, Dt-Pune

TRREPL’s associate company Temple Rose Livestock Farming Pvt. Ltd. (TRLFPL) had purchased ( Sale deed no 4864/2010, 4865/2010 &  2978/2011)  around 176 hector of land in pingori village of Pune  sold it in 2016 ( 1199/2016)for agriculture purpose to sharmila joshi , Nipa chithalia,dooria bahrainwala , Narayan Parmar,Biman Das, Rajesh Gandhi,husaini bahrainwala, Dilipkumar Chhajed,Ashraf bahrainwala,Suresh Shiwale & Pravin Thorve. But mean while TRREPL has also sold around 5294  so called proposed N.A plots on the same piece of land to gullible investors. It has also put names of the pot purchasers on its website.

Temple rose live stock farming pvt. ltd.purchased surve no 810 , Pingori Village

Actually when land was purchased in Temple Rose Livestock Farming Pvt. Ltd. (TRLFPL) name then Temple Rose Real Estate Pvt Ltd's (TRREPL) had no business to launch plotting scheme on the same land .Though directors of both the companies are same companies are different and TRREPL had no right to launch any scheme on this land.

Temple rose live stock farming sold all the land belonging to survey no 810 in year 2016

The company has same modus operandy every where . It has also published names of plot purchasers but you won’t find  any  sale deed registered with department of registration. Interestingly on one hand company claims to have sold all the plots and on another hand it’s associate company has sold entire 175 hectors to another persons for agriculture purpose.

Pingori village in Purandar taluka of Pune district is surrounded by hillocks from three sides. 80% of the land is hills ( In Marathi डोंगरपड ) and hence it can not developed as township,  residential or industrial purpose. TRLFPL has purchased this land for live stock purpose and sold this entire piece of land for agriculture purpose . And TRREPL has also sold same land as proposed N.A plots. TRREPL claims to have  176 hector scheme as  Rose city. As per companies website it is  a Satellite township Project of Proposed Residential N.A. Plots for Exclusive Thai and Spanish Villas.

Five directors of TRREPL company including three members of same family have been booked in another case . The firm had assured investors their money would double and had given them land papers as a form of surety The FIR has been lodged against  Devidas Sajnani, promoter and director of TRREPL , his wife Vanita  daughter Deepa and two others-Keshav Iddya and Markas Thorat. The EOW  believes the scam may involve at least Rs 400 crore and 12,000 investors. Some of these people are also directors in another companies i.e.  Temple Rose Construction Pvt. Ltd. Temple Rose Marketing Pvt. Ltd, Temple Rose Fresh Produce Pvt. Ltd. Temple Rose InfoTech Pvt. Ltd, L.H.S. Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. Shri Ramgiri Sugars PVT Ltd.



The list of plot purchasers in Rose City Phase six Scheme on survey no 810 of pingori.


Interestingly the Retired police inspector Bhausaheb Andhalkar, an accused in the RTI activist Satish Shetty murder is also past director of one of these companies shri Ramgiri sugars pvt ltd. Satish Shetty was social activist, noted for exposing many land scams in Maharashtra. He had used the Right to Information Act to expose irregularities in Government offices in the last five years. He was killed on 13 January 2010.



Its difficult to understand that despite lot of warnings and incidences of cheating , why so many people fall prey to the tactics of dubious investment companies. Some companies  do not posses single sq. ft. of land any where in India, but they sale lakhs of sq. ft. land online. They never display survey numbers of the land nor they register  sale deed with registrations authority. Some companies do posses some land but they sale one piece of land to hundreds of persons. Until  people do  not buy any land or invest in such companies  people get royal treatment from their representatives but once the entire amount is  paid  then they  totally ignore them.

Some companies  assure investors that  investors  money would double and hand over some  land papers as a form of surety  but they never register sale deed or mention survey number & demarcation of it. Attractive online presence, lavish offices & smart sales representatives is their main strength. None of the buyers, so called investors or companies bother about rules and regulations.
