Gurugram, June 28: The Gurugram Zonal Office of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached properties worth about ₹557.43 crore on June 27, 2025 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002 as part of an ongoing investigation against Mahira Infratech Private Limited (formerly Sai Ayana Farms Private Limited), Mahira Buildtech Private Limited, and Cezar Buildwell Private Limited.
The seized properties include about 35 acres of land (residential and commercial) located in Sectors 68, 63A, 103, 104, 92, 888 and 95 of Gurugram and fixed deposits (FDRs) of about ₹97 lakh in the name of various companies.
616 crore fraud by obtaining a housing license with fake documents
The ED initiated this action on the basis of an FIR registered by the Gurugram Police, in which Sai Ayana Farms Pvt. Ltd. and related companies were accused of fraud and forgery under various sections of the Indian Penal Code. The investigation revealed that the companies had obtained licenses for affordable housing projects using fake bank guarantees and documents.
The company collected more than ₹ 616 crore from about 3700 buyers for projects in Sector 68, 103 and 104, but did not hand over the houses on the promised time and the funds were misused.
Fund transfer by increasing expenses through fake bills
The ED investigation also found that the company deliberately increased the construction expenses through fake invoices, and the buyers’ amount was transferred as a loan to other group companies, which is outstanding for years. This amount was used by the directors and promoters for personal interests.
Properties seized and arrests made earlier
Earlier on 15 February 2024 and 26 March 2025, ED had seized properties worth ₹81.07 crore in the same case.
The main accused Sikandar Singh (promoter of Mahira Group) was arrested on 30 April 2024.
Dharam Singh Chhokar (former MLA), who was absconding for a year and had six non-bailable warrants issued against him, was arrested on 5 May 2025.
Another accused Vikas Chhokar is still absconding, and a proclamation notice has been issued against him. The case is pending in a special court in Gurugram.
Further investigation underway
The Enforcement Directorate said that further investigation is going on in this case and more arrests and seizure of properties can be done soon.
