After the initial payment (booking amount), on the application of the investors/victims, funds for the proposed flats were obtained from the banks or financial institutions and the builder company had promised to pay the EMIs against the loan obtained till the handing over of possession. "However, till date the construction at the site has not been completed and the builder company stopped paying EMIs to the banks," the DCP said.So far 51 complainants have approached the police with an amount of Rs 11 crores being allegedly involved. Several of these complainants have alleged that though the loan was sanctioned on their applications, but without their knowledge, the loan amount was disbursed to the builder by forging their signatures on several documents, the official said.Accordingly the police registered a case under sections 406, 409, 420, 467, 471 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code at the economic offence wing police station.During investigation it was found that the land for the residential project situated at Morta village, is registered in the name of the accused builder company namely Manju J Homez Pvt.
