When she approached the builders, she was offered a transfer of the booking amount to another project but she could not get the flat even after two more payments.The complainant has alleged that till 2015, there was no delivery of the flat and the company officials called her husband to their office and demanded more money. Kiran Agrawal, a resident of Sector 93, said that in 2006, she had booked a 160sqft flat in Grand Wood project of the builder at Rs 3,565 per sqft.“We had given Rs 8.5 lakh as booking amount but we were not allotted a flat till 2010. When we complained to the CMD, Rohtash Goyal, they suggested that our money will be diverted to another flat in another project on the same site at Rs 3,150 per sqft and we paid Rs 25 lakh more for the flat in Grand Tower project. A part of the money previously deposited was transferred,” the FIR reads.The FIR has been lodged against the CMD of Omaxe Limited and also the director, Mohit Goel, and six others under sections 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.Kiran’s husband Mukesh Agrawal, a warehouse businessman based in Noida, told TOI that they were cheated thrice by the builder. “We understood that their intention was not to hand over the flat, since other flats in the same project that we first booked were being sold at a rate of Rs 15,000 per sqft,” he said.Phase 2 SHO Farmood Ali Pundhir said an FIR has been lodged against eight persons. Mukesh Goel, vice-president, Omaxe Build Homes, told TOI that the project was stuck due to litigation. “We had offered the buyers to get their refund along with interest.
