NDORE: An NRI couple from Scotland, who had purchased an apartment in Mangal Nagar, on Tuesday claimed that they had been duped by builders as they have still not got possession of the flat despite being promised so. The incident came to fore after the duo came to the city and approached in-charge DIG Harinarayan Chari Mishra at the public hearing.
In their complaint, Pushpalata Rohila, who worked as a manager at oil and gas industry and her husband Harsh Nama, an IT worker, said that they had purchased a flat in Classic City in Mangal Nagar from Swastik Infrastructure Company.
“We had been promised possession of the flat by November 15, 2015. The owners of the company – Ankit Shrivastav and Aman Sehgal – had also signed an agreement saying that they will pay Rs 10,000 as rent for the flat if the deadline of possession was breached by the builders,” said Harsh while speaking to TOI. He said that they also completed registry formalities for the flat and when they approached the owners again, they were told that they will be given the under-construction flat latest by December 15. 2016.
“Even after calling them several times, we got no response. We had purchased the flat by taking a loan and we are also paying interest on the loan. We have been deceived by the builders and have faced mental harassment,” he said.
“Everyone in my family including my sister-in-law who lives in scheme number 78 and my sister who also lives in city have faced problems because of these people. Since we were in Scotland, they had to approach the police and also builders for the possession,” said Harsh.
He said that after coming to India, he came to know that both the builders were allegedly absconding and there were other similar cases registered against them
