ED Attaches Rs 54 Crore Delhi House in Amrapali Case
The Enforcement Directorate is investigating the Amrapali Group over money collected from people who wanted to buy homes.
The agency says some of that money was moved through companies and used in connection with a house in Delhi.
It has temporarily attached the house, which it values at Rs 54.71 crore.
The investigation follows 18 police complaints about housing projects in Noida and Greater Noida.
The complaints said buyers were promised flats within 36 months.
The ED says the projects remained unfinished and buyers did not receive homes or refunds.
The company did not immediately comment on the allegations.
The Enforcement Directorate provisionally attached a house in Delhi’s Maharani Bagh valued at Rs 54.71 crore.
The action is part of a money-laundering investigation into the Amrapali Group and alleged fraud involving homebuyers.
The ED said a forensic audit found more than Rs 5,000 crore in homebuyer funds was diverted through shell and group companies.
The agency said some funds were routed to Surbhaee Advertising through Anil Kumar Sharma and family members and used in connection with the property.
The case stems from 18 FIRs alleging that housing projects in Noida and Greater Noida were not completed and buyers were not given possession or refunds.
