The director, whose identity has not been disclosed, was wanted for several financial irregularities and fraudulent activities. The real estate firm, known for its large-scale projects in the region, has been under scrutiny for a considerable period. The investigation revealed that the firm had allegedly duped multiple investors, causing significant financial losses.
The police had been actively pursuing the director since 2019, when the first complaints were filed. Over the years, the PO and Summon Cell issued multiple summons, but the director managed to evade capture. The breakthrough came on Sunday when the police finally located and arrested him.
Speaking to the media, a senior police officer stated, 'This arrest is a significant victory for law and order in Chandigarh. The director's actions have caused immense distress to many families, and we are committed to bringing justice to the victims.'
