The full story

Everything you need to know about this case, in one place.

Investigators alleged that real estate developers siphoned funds from numerous innocent buyers, treating systematic frauds as simple contractual disputes. The case involves companies named M/s DHL Infratech Private Limited and Gupta Property Developers, Shivji. Authorities stated that directors and associates from these firms were implicated in multiple scams affecting investors.

The High Court noted that local police hesitated to take proper action months after the initial First Information Report was filed at the IMT police station in Rohtak. Consequently, the court ordered the Haryana government to appoint a senior Indian Police Service officer to lead the probe and submit a detailed status report.
