“In 2015, on September 28, Dr PD Gaikwad, president of Noble-Socio Scientific Welfare Organisation (NSSWO) comprising of 30 professors of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), entered into a Joint Development Agreement with the accused to purchase residential flats in proposed “L” Zone.

The Accused assured the complainant that the said ancestral agriculture land of the accused is free from all kind of encumbrances. As per agreement, the complainant paid Rs 1.44 crore (approx.) to the accused as advance money. Thereafter, the complainant came to know that accused had already executed two more agreements to sell with different parties regarding the same property,” said Shibesh Singh, DCP (Dwarka district).

“During investigation, it was revealed that accused had already given a statement in court during proceedings of civil suit filed by his alienated wife that ‘I will not sell or create any third party interest in the suit property to deprive the rights of the plaintiff-master Adharv Yadav’,” added Singh.
