GURUGRAM: Homebuyers of a halted project in the city have reached out to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police, claiming they are being pressured to “withdraw” a criminal case.
The FIR, lodged on August 14, 2020, includes allegations under sections 420, 406, and 120B of the IPC, regarding cheating, criminal breach of trust, and conspiracy tied to the CHD Vann housing project in Sector 71 by CHD Developers Ltd. The agreement signed that year promised possession within 42 months, by 2018.
In response to these pressures, the homebuyers have urged the EOW to acknowledge their grievances, describing the outreach as attempts to “influence the complainants.” They have also requested protection, fearing continued coercion if their concerns remain unaddressed.
In a written representation dated January 12, submitted to the EOW’s investigating officer, the allottees reported receiving multiple calls in recent weeks from both known and unknown numbers. The callers, allegedly linked to a “CHD-Roots legal team,” asked the allottees to retract their FIR. Copies of this representation have also been sent to HRera Gurgaon and to officials in the town and country planning department for necessary action.
The buyers stated that they had signed builder-buyer agreements, making payments based on the agreed construction-linked plan. However, construction was reportedly halted midway, with no further communication from the developer, leading them to seek legal remedies.
The complaint highlights that insolvency proceedings against CHD Developers Ltd were initiated at the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). An order dated November 21, 2025, reportedly segregated the CHD Vann project and placed it under the control of Roots Developers Ltd, the landowners.
The allottees assert that the NCLT order does not mandate them to withdraw criminal complaints or FIRs, nor does it authorize any individual to solicit affidavits or consent from complainants for withdrawal of ongoing proceedings. They have not signed any affidavits or documents agreeing to withdraw the FIR.
