Noida’s law enforcement strikes back against white-collar crime with the dramatic arrest of Guddu Alam, who ran a sophisticated con through I Home Master Private Limited. Posing as a premium interior designer, the 35-year-old Bihar native defrauded at least 20 families of crores by taking advances and delivering nothing but excuses and intimidation.
Sector-63 police, blending old-school tips with high-tech tracking, swooped on his office, recovering a haul of computers and gadgets that powered his deceptive operations. Alam’s modus operandi was chillingly systematic: flashy social media ads and telemarketing built trust, leading to contracts worth lakhs. Post-payment, he’d sabotage sites—smashing walls or halting work—to discourage switches to legit designers.
A stark example is a Greater Noida resident out 10 lakhs for an unfinished flat makeover. Probes confirm 94 lakhs misappropriated, but the total tab nears two crores. During interrogation, Alam admitted blowing funds on whims while threatening victims with abuse and death.
With two cases filed, police are mapping his network and urging more complainants forward. This B.Tech fraudster’s downfall highlights risks in Noida’s real estate frenzy, where dream homes turn nightmares. Authorities vow relentless pursuit of justice, fortifying consumer safeguards in the sector.
