Tribune News Service

Gurgaon, October 30
The police today registered the second FIR against former Union Minister Arun Nehru’s daughter Avantika Nehru Madan and her husband Gulbir Singh Madan for fraudulently grabbing 151 acres of land from farmers and later selling it to investors.

Amit Katyal, a director in one of their companies, has also been booked in this regard. Despite repeated attempts, the Madans could not be contacted.

The case was registered under Sections 420, 406, 120-B/34 of the IPC at the Sector 57 police station.

The first FIR was registered on October 3 at the Sadar police station on the order of a local court. Mewa Singh and Ravish Kapoor had filed a complaint against them in the court. The police had then asked them to join investigations by October 28 but they failed to appear before it.

Both the FIRs accused Avantika, Gulbir and others of fraudulently taking 151 acres of land from farmers of Ulhawas and nearby villages. They obtained a licence from the Town and Country Planning Department to develop residential colonies in the name of M/s Krrish Buildtech Pvt Ltd in 2010. Later, their another company M/s Brahma City Pvt Ltd sold the land to more than 1,000 buyers.

The complainants alleged that the duo had floated various companies under different names and after more than a year, there was no sign of launch of the projects announced by them. They alleged that the duo had cheated the investors and farmers to the tune of more than Rs 70,000 crore.

Meanwhile, kin of the accused have filed a bail petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which would be taken up tomorrow.
