FIR against Unitech for cheating buyers

Presiding the grievance committee meeting here on Thursday, Haryana cabinet minister OP Dhankar ordered a police probe into the issue of realty firm Unitech allegedly cheating its buyers, an official said.

More than 30 customers from Unitech’s The Residences project landed up at the Deputy Commissioner’s (DC) office to vent their grievance against Unitech.

On the directions of Dhankar, DC TL Satyaprakash ordered filing of complaint against Unitech and said the Economic Offence Wing (EOW) of the police will probe the matter.

Shikha Puri, a housewife and customer, broke down in front of the grievance committee saying: “I had to sell my jewellery to buy my home... I am now facing the brunt of spiralling rent and EMIs. With inflation at its all-time high, Unitech is doing nothing about it.”

Customers complained to the committee that Unitech had launched The Residence project in Sector-33, Gurgaon in May 2009 and was to deliver 1,320 homes by December 2011 as per the agreement that Unitech had entered into with buyers.

Till date, only 90 flats have been delivered and more than 90 percent of the project remains in an abandoned state.

It has been more than six years and the developer has not started construction of the basement parking in spite of taking 85 to 95 percent payment from customer including parking charges.
