A ₹3.42 crore fraud involving Ansal Company has come to light in the Sushant Golf City area, with police registering a report against the company’s officials. Allegations suggest that the company misled investors by promising commercial land transactions that were never completed.
Sources said Anuj Goyal, a resident of Aliganj Sector C and owner of Goyal Infracon, claimed that in 2010 he approached Ansal Company owners Pranav Ansal, Sushil Ansal, and other officials to purchase land. The company allegedly offered 7,655 square meters of commercial land on Sultanpur Road as their own property for sale.
The deal was fixed at ₹5.13 crore. According to Anuj, he paid a total of ₹3.42 crore between March 9, 2021, and October 9, 2024. Despite these payments, the land registration was never completed. No legal action or official registry process was carried out by the company, leaving investors without possession of the land or proper documentation.
Police officials stated that the investigation is ongoing and the role of other company officials and staff may also come under scrutiny. Following the initial complaint, authorities have seized relevant documents and transaction records for further examination.

Background of the Case and Investigation
Police noted that Ansal Company used professional marketing and outreach methods to attract investors. However, the company allegedly ignored ownership verification and registration formalities, creating conditions for fraud.
During the investigation, it was also found that the payments made by investors were not properly accounted for by the company, and several receipts or legal documents were incomplete. This suggests the case involves deliberate financial deception rather than mere business negligence.
Authorities are now examining the company’s broader financial records and transactions to trace the actual use of funds and to determine whether other investors have been similarly affected.
Advisory to Investors
Officials have advised investors to thoroughly verify company registrations, land ownership documents, and legal paperwork before entering into any commercial transactions.
Especially in cases involving large payments or unusually high returns, investors are urged to exercise caution and seek professional guidance before committing funds.
Key Takeaways and Next Steps
Police have warned that any suspicious activity or fraudulent behavior by companies should be reported immediately to authorities. The investigation is ongoing, and further arrests or identification of involved parties are expected.
This case highlights the importance of vigilance among investors and the need for transparency in financial dealings. The Lucknow police action is aimed at protecting investors participating in large-scale commercial transactions and ensuring safeguards against financial fraud.
