Five additional FIRs have been filed against Ansal Properties and Infrastructure Ltd (API) at the Sushant Golf City police station in Lucknow, alleging that the company defrauded customers of Rs 5.78 crore under the guise of selling plots and flats.
To date, approximately 70 cases have been registered against the real estate firm in connection with a multi-million land scam. City businessman Sanjeev Agarwal reported that he paid Rs 5 crore in 2022 for a land transaction, only to later find out that the company had fraudulently registered sale deeds for government land and, in some instances, sold the same land to multiple buyers using forged documents.
In another instance, Colonel Kunendra Singh Yadav mentioned that he reserved a 1,291 sq ft flat in the ‘Basera Deluxe’ project in April 2013, paying Rs 26.11 lakh, yet the flat was never delivered to him. Similarly, Harishankar Jaiswal from Azamgarh stated that he paid Rs 11.5 lakh in 2010 to reserve a plot and subsequently paid Rs 20.13 lakh via cheque in 2011 for a flat, but after 15 years, he has not received possession of either the plot or the flat.
Another complainant, Shashi Verma from Rajajipuram’s D-Block, claimed that he booked a plot in Ansal’s residential project in 2010 by depositing Rs 11.28 lakh, but he has neither received possession nor a refund. Sanjay Kumar Srivastava from Ashiana also accused the company of misrepresenting land measurements and collecting Rs 9.94 lakh for a plot reservation.
