During the probe, various irregularities came to fore in this connection, said officials. It is informed that in 2011, the builders had purchased 4.856 hectares for Rs 4.92 crore.

The agency found that most of the amount was given in cash instead of bank/online transfer, which is against the norms. It also came to fore that the builder had also encroached upon nullah and sold it off.  While developing the site, the builders had taken approval from the town and country planning, but when it came to selling the plots, the builders changed the plan to suit their business.  Besides, the development charge which was scheduled to be deposited to the RERA was also done; the builders evaded paying an amount of Rs 3.8 lakh to the authority.
