ED FILES PROSECUTION COMPLAINT AGAINST SAI GROUP PROMOTERS IN ₹43.73-CRORE CASE

The Enforcement Directorate has filed a prosecution complaint against Sai Group promoters Jayesh Tanna, Deep Tanna and Vivek Jayesh Tanna, and seven linked entities, alleging that money collected from flat and shop buyers and investors for redevelopment projects at D N Nagar (Andheri), Kandivali and Goregaon was diverted for personal use, generating alleged proceeds of crime of ₹43.73 crore. The complaint was filed before the Special Court (PMLA), Mumbai, on 31 July 2026 under Sections 3 and 70 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act; the court has ordered pre-cognizance notices to all accused. The case originates in multiple FIRs registered by Mumbai Police against Jayesh and Deep Tanna. The ED opened its probe in 2024, after which chargesheets have been filed in 14 of 17 underlying police cases. Investigators allege the promoters collected funds from buyers and investors for the proposed redevelopment projects but diverted them for purposes unrelated to construction, leaving the projects incomplete and causing losses to buyers, original society members and investors. The agency had earlier, in searches of nine premises in March 2025, provisionally attached immovable properties worth ₹33.89 crore belonging to the Tanna family and associated firms, including agricultural land, flats, commercial shops and a bungalow in Mumbai and Ahmednagar. In July 2025, the probe acquired an overseas dimension: the ED attached a UK property allegedly acquired in 2017 using diverted funds, with the attachment sent for execution under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty mechanism. One case before the Bombay High Court records a buyer who paid ₹3.33 crore for a flat, only to find it had been sold to another party — and that a replacement flat offered by the developer was itself found to be mortgaged.
