Lucknow: Director of the Mumbai-based real estate company submitted a case against five people because they cheated him around Rs 9.4 Crore.
The complainant accused the one who was accused, Anand Kumar Singh aka Baba Trikaldarshi, was the sand mafia.
Deepak Sharma from Malad, Mumbai, said he met Trikaldarshi from Eldeco Colony during a party in Mumbai in December 2018.
