Sumit Kumar Jain, the complainant, is a resident of Golf Course Road in Sector 54. He and his father had allegedly booked two plots, after getting to know of it through an advertisement in 2006.

In the police complaint, Jain alleged that between September 2006 and July 2014 he paid ₹75 lakh for the plots, which were not handed over to him. “The accused informed the complainant on March 18, 2009, that the Letter of Intent of the project has been approved by the authorities and also handed over a tentative layout plan to the complainant. The complainant was assured that he would get the possession of the plot within time and not later than three years,” the complainant said in the first information report (FIR).

“Till date accused always made false promises and had not taken a single step in order to complete the project as well as plots at the promised site of Sector-92, 93 and 95,” he alleged.
