It was on a complaint alleging that the people who were accused have cheated a resident of Delhi for Crores of rupees which were used for betting and fixing.
Patel was summoned by a Delhi court on July 27th and the complaing claimed that he had paid money for flats. The accused company’s Greater Noida project, Oneleaf Troy was the flat in question according to the lawyer.
