Gurgaon Police File FIR Against Six Realty Firm Directors in Rs 5 Crore Cheating Case
In a significant development, the Gurgaon police have registered an FIR against six directors from two real estate companies for alleged cheating and criminal conspiracy. The case involves a complaint from a Sector 54 resident who claims to have been defrauded of Rs 5 crore in connection with a commercial project located in Sector 57.
Details of the FIR and Accused Parties
The FIR was lodged at the Sector 56 police station under sections 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code. The accused individuals include Sanjay Gupta, Deepak Gupta, and Akshat Gupta, who serve as directors of Ameya Commercial Projects. Additionally, Anjali Gupta, Ekta Gupta, and Varuni Gupta, directors of Anek Estates and Ventures, have been named in the complaint.
According to police statements, the complainant, Mridula Kumari, was allegedly misled by the accused. They informed her that Anek Estates and Ventures LLP was a sister concern of the developer, Ameya Commercial Projects. This representation reportedly influenced her decision to invest in the Ameya Sapphire 57 project.
Allegations of Threats and Financial Misconduct
Mridula Kumari, who purchased four units in the project, has accused the directors of severe misconduct. She alleges that they verbally abused her, humiliated her, attempted to outrage her modesty, and issued threats to eliminate her if she continued to demand possession or a refund. As a result, she claims to be living in "fear and mental trauma" and apprehends harm to her life.
The complainant was introduced to the project through a real estate agent who assured her of the developers' credibility and the project's financial soundness. The accused allegedly induced her to invest by promising timely delivery of possession and presenting themselves as reputed builders. Mridula paid the entire sale consideration amount, and an agreement to sell dated May 16, 2024, was executed by Ameya Commercial Projects, stating that no further amount remained payable.
Fund Diversion and Legal Evasion Claims
However, Mridula has raised serious allegations regarding the handling of funds. She claims that although the agreement was executed by Ameya Commercial Projects, she was compelled to deposit the entire payment into the bank account of Anek Estates and Ventures LLP. She alleges that this was a deliberate move to divert funds, evade legal responsibility, and suppress the identity of the actual beneficiary.
As per the agreement, possession and execution of the sale deed were to occur within three months of the issuance of the occupation certificate (OC). The OC for the project was granted on July 28, 2025. Despite this, Mridula alleges that neither physical possession has been handed over nor has the sale deed been executed, further compounding her grievances.
Police Investigation and Responses
A police officer involved in the case stated, "No arrest has been made yet, but further action will be taken following a detailed investigation." Efforts by media outlets to contact the directors of Ameya Commercial Projects for their response to the allegations have been unsuccessful, as they have not responded to numerous attempts.
This case highlights ongoing concerns in the real estate sector regarding fraudulent practices and the need for stringent oversight to protect investors from such scams.
