Joint‑venture scams and forged documents: How Amit Ganguli manipulated property owners

According to the Enforcement Directorate, Amit Ganguli entered into joint‑venture agreements with landowners, only to manipulate the paperwork and retain development rights for himself. By presenting false sale deeds, fabricated agreements, and counterfeit power‑of‑attorney papers, he created an illusion of legal ownership while dispossessing the actual owners. The Directorate classifies the proceeds from these criminal activities as "proceeds of crime" under the PMLA. The investigation also uncovered tampering with municipal land records to solidify his claims, further violating multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code.
