DEHRADUN:

The case pertains to the scam in which key accused, Deepak Mittal, the managing director of the M/s Pushpanjali Realms and Infratech Limited and his wife, Rekha, allegedly duped home buyers to the tune of ₹31.15 crore by taking advance payments on the pretext of booking flats in 2020, they added.

"We are reviewing all the FIRs registered in connection with the case," Swaroop said.

"All aspects are being examined, including whether there was any leniency in the arrest of Mittal and Rakhi, and whether the money trail was properly investigated. We are also considering the formation of an SIT to further probe the case," he added.
