A 41-year-old builder has been arrested for allegedly cheating several buyers by not giving them possession of flats after taking money, the police said on Thursday.
As many as five cases of cheating have been registered against the builder and his absconding partner under the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act (MOFA), said an official.

The arrested builder and his partner had promised flats to customers in their ongoing housing project in Madanpura area but did not fulfil the commitment though the customers had paid nearly the entire price of the flats, he said.
