Singh said, “I own land, which the developer of Cleo County has illegally occupied and a case is pending in the high court. On September 16, I had reached my property and was dissuading potential buyers. Soon, Amit Modi, Sunil Gehlot and the policemen arrived and forcibly took me to the outpost. I was assaulted by four policemen,” Singh said.
ABA Corp issued a statement, “This FIR is grossly unfair towards the developers of Cleo County project and we will also file a counter FIR against these allegations.
