Noida: Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) MP Ravindra Kishore Sinha was allegedly duped of Rs 6 crore on the pretext of providing him a plot for organic farming.

The MP has lodged an FIR in the Phase III police station of Noida alleging that he was promised a plot near the Yamuna Expressway in Simrethi area of Aligarh by a broker Rajiv Shankar Tiwari who claimed to be the owner of the plot.
