New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI) The CBI has filed a charge sheet against Ozone Urbana Infra Developers Pvt Ltd and its director in connection with builder-banker nexus scam cases in which thousands of home buyers were allegedly cheated on tall claims made at the time of booking their apartments, officials said Friday.
The CBI filed its 17th charge sheet in the scam before the Special Court in Bengaluru against the builder for “alleged fraudulent activities” relating to a housing project situated in the city, they said.
“Investigation conducted by the CBI has revealed that the accused builder company and its director, in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy, allegedly induced innocent homebuyers and investors through false assurances, misleading representations and deceptive promises, thereby dishonestly obtaining financial gains while causing wrongful loss to the victims,” a CBI spokesperson said in a statement.
The CBI has invoked the Indian Penal Code pertaining to criminal conspiracy, cheating and criminal breach of trust in the charge sheet.
“The CBI is presently investigating another 32 cases registered pursuant to the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court against various builder companies and unknown officials of financial institutions across the country in matters concerning alleged cheating and diversion of funds involving homebuyers,” the statement said.
