Additional CP (EOW) Suvashis Chaudhary said Nirmal Singh, Surpreet Singh and Vidur Bhardwaj had been evading arrest for the past few years — in three other cases registered against them since 2015 — and were caught from their residences in Panchsheel Vihar, Sainik Farms and Greater Kailash, respectively.


Police had lodged an FIR on a complaint from homebuyers in March after it was found that the builders had allegedly diverted Rs 191 crore through subsidiary companies. Special commissioner (EOW & crime) Satish Golcha has been monitoring the cases against the accused.


The buyers alleged that that the company had taken money for booking apartments in a housing project in Sector 107 in Noida in March 2010. They were assured that the project would be delivered within 39 months from the date of allotment. However, they never received any communication after this.
