ED Conducts Raids in Delhi-NCR Over Alleged Homebuyer Fraud by Builders

ED Conducts Raids in Delhi-NCR Over Alleged Homebuyer Fraud by BuildersPreviousNext

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at multiple Delhi-NCR locations as part of a money laundering investigation linked to two real estate companies, AVJ Developers (India) and Rudra Buildwell Construction. The probe, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, follows Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIRs alleging that these builders cheated homebuyers through 'subvention schemes' promising 'No EMI till possession.' Despite buyers securing loans and booking flats, possession has been delayed for several years, causing financial losses.
