Gurugram: NBCC Green View buyers want FIR against developer

GURUGRAM: Homebuyers of NBCC Green View in Sector 37D met a senior officer of Gurgaon police on Friday and sought her intervention in getting an FIR registered against the developer for cheating and corruption.

Earlier this year, the homebuyers had filed a complaint against the developer with the economic offences wing (EoW) of Delhi Police, which transferred the case to Gurgaon police in May. The society was deemed structurally unsafe by the district administration in February this year, and all residents had to vacate their flats by March.

Aggrieved homebuyers said that enough evidence against the developer was given to the authorities concerned, but “no action has been taken yet”.

Vinay Gupta, joint secretary of the Green View Apartments Owners Association, said, “We met DCP (EOW) Upasana Singh and urged her to take action against the developer responsible for endangering the lives of homebuyers. How can a building be deemed structurally unfit for habitation within four years of possession.”

Earlier this week, the homebuyers wrote to the Union housing and urban affairs minister Hardeep Singh Puri, seeking directions to NBCC to keep paying their rent until a settlement is reached between the two parties.

Randhir Singh, general secretary of Green View AOA, said that they had been running pillar to post to get justice but no action has been taken so far. “We have given all documentary evidence to the authorities. Even before the possession of the building began in 2017, NBCC’s own technical audit team found cracks but instead of repair, flats were delivered to innocent buyers,” he said.

DCP Singh said, “The matter is already under investigation. I have met the residents and assured them of an impartial probe by the police. Based on the investigation, action will be taken as per law.”

Meanwhile, an official of NBCC said, “We have taken cognizance of everything and required action has been taken by us on the matter.”
