A case has been lodged against three directors of a realty firm here for allegedly duping a person to the tune of around Rs 55.26 lakh on the pretext of a housing project, the police said on Saturday.
The case was registered on Friday at south Delhi’s Saket police station, a police official said, adding that the three directors of Unitech have been charged under IPC Sections 406 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy).
The complainant in the case alleged that the accused had floated a housing scheme in 2006 under which she booked an apartment in Greater Noida. The accused allegedly kept asking for instalments over years and threatened the complainant with interest accrual letters for late payments.
At times the complainant also wrote letters to the company asking about the progress of the project but never got an answer, she claimed, adding that in 2010 the promoters sent her a letter asking her about choice of paint for her 1693 square feet apartment.
She reported the matter after she had already paid instalments of around Rs 55.26 crore, the police said.
Unitech spokesperson did not comment on the matter immediately.
