Pune: After filing a complaint with the government over the 'misleading' housing advertisement by the Maple Group, BJP MP Kirit Somaiya on Saturday said that soon the accused builder will be behind bars for allegedly duping people.
"The housing scheme by Maple Group is bogus and the developer, through a well-designed scheme, tried to present his project as government's project. However, we immediately raised the question and within 48 hours, a case was registered against him (developer)," Somaiya said on the sidelines of a lecture on 'Fight against Corruption'.
