As Sachin Dutta, he ran a disco and owned at least eight real estate projects in Delhi’s suburbs. And then, he disappeared, only to emerge as Sachidanand Giri Maharaj, an avatar that lasted only a week. Nearly a month later, as stories swirl, there is still no sign of ‘builder baba’

A internet search for ‘Sachin Dutta Builder’ leads to a ‘Balaji Group’ page on a leading property website. “Mr Sachin Dutta” has been described as the founder of the group that has close to eight luxury real estate projects in the National Capital Region.
