Thiruvanmiyur Police on Friday arrested a 54-year-old builder for cheating two landowners after entering into a joint agreement to build houses and receiving advance payment.
Police said Baskar and Vanaja Srinivasan had entered an agreement with a builder Ganesh Pandian to build eight houses in their land measuring 5,662 square feet in Thiruvanmiyur on joint venture basis and he also received Rs 25 lakh as advance from them in 2014. Ganesh Pandian introduced Sairam and asked the landowners to execute power of attorney in favour of him and collected the original documents. The complainant alleged that the Ganesh Pandian and Sairam failed to build the houses as promised in the agreement and to return the amount that they received.
Based on the complaint, Thiruvanmiyur police arrested Ganesh Pandian, 54 of Kottivakkam and remanded him to judicial custody.
