Case was registered against Neeraj Ved with Tilak nagar Police station for not making payments to the customers last week and entering into the MahaRERA seized flat illegally.

Two persons who bought six flats and a shop for Rs 6.17 crore lodged a complaint against Neeraj for not handing over the flats to them even after the expiry of the deadline. They charged the director with demanding additional money. They mentioned in the complaint that the flat allotted to them was sold to other individuals. A case was registered against Neeraj following lodging of the complaint.
