The Juhu police have begun an inquiry against a reputed builder for allegedly not handing over the possession of a flat in an under construction project in DN Nagar, Andheri West, even after taking 40 per cent as consideration amount in 2013-2014 from a Juhu resident.

The complainant is Gulmohar Road No. 1 resident Sushil Gupta, 52, who lodged the plaint on February 15 against the directors of M/s The Wadhwa Group Holdings Private Limited. He alleges they hatched a conspiracy and cheated him to the tune of over R1.66 crore, which was the 40 per cent consideration amount he'd paid the said builder against the total flat value — that includes two car parking spaces —of R4.32 crore, between 2013-2014.
