Arshad and Aslam, from Mewat district of Haryana, and Satender, Vikram and the woman, Banti - all three from Faridabad - cheated property dealer Surender Sharma.
The mastermind, Mohammad Husain, is on the run, police said.
Banti posed as Rukmani, the owner of a plot measuring more than an acre.
She told the property dealer that she was from Mumbai and had to return soon, and thus asked him to finalise the deal quickly.
