When they neither gave him possession of land nor returned him the money, he lodged a written complaint with CB, stating therein that he had in 2013 come in contact with the accused who offered him to buy a piece of 50 kanals of land falling under khasra No 812, 771 and 773 at Smailpur, Bari Brahmna.
After the deal was finalised, they took Rs 65 lakh from Gupta as advance and executed an agreement duly attested before the court. They later obtained fard-e-intikhab of the land, but went underground after that for unknown reasons.

The CB probe revealed that they were history sheeters in records of Bari Brahmana police station and had already duped several people of their money. With this money, they had constructed palatial houses and accumulated other assets, besides providing of luxurious electronic gadgets, including gold ornaments and other costly items, to their wards on the occasion of their marriages.They have been booked under sections 420, 406 and 120-B of RPC.
