Gurgaon, March 18 (IANS) Five people, including a woman, have been arrested here for posing as land owners and fraudulently selling a plot, police said on Wednesday.

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.

After Sharma paid a token amount to create the land transfer documents, he visited the tehsildar (revenue officer) to check the land records. He found out the truth about the plot and filed a police complaint.

The five were then arrested.

Police said another gang had cheated a buyer of Rs.50 lakh in 2009 by "selling" the same plot in Sector 67 near Badshahpur area.

A case has been registered, and police were questioning the five accused.
