Daijiworld Media Network – Panaji

Panaji, Oct 24: The Economic Offences Cell (EOC) of Goa Police has registered a case against two Pune-based companies — Soil Properties & Infra India Ltd. and Soil Properties & Estate India Ltd. — for allegedly duping Goan investors of around Rs 7 crore through fake deposit schemes.

Between 2014 and 2019, the companies’ chairman, directors, and branch manager allegedly lured investors to put money in recurring and fixed deposit schemes, promising high returns and complete safety. Many Goans invested through the firms’ Goa branch at Dempo House, Patto, Panaji.

Police said the accused misappropriated the funds for personal gain and later shut down the Panaji branch without notice, defaulting on payments.

A case has been registered under Sections 406, 409, 420, and 120B read with Section 34 of the IPC, and Sections 3 and 5 of the Goa Protection of Interests of Depositors Act, 1999. Further investigation is underway.
