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.

The five were then arrested.
