CBI uncovers racket involving DDA officials
CBI has busted a racket by property dealers who allegedly revived cancelled flats illegally in collusion with DDA officials and made huge profits selling them at premium rates. The flats were advertised in 1979, but got cancelled after the allottees failed to pay up. CBI in its probe has found that in 2007-08, the property dealers approached these allottees who, against payment for the cancelled flats, agreed to sell them allotment letters. CBI sources said property dealers forged backdated applications on behalf of allottees, stating they had not received letters due to a change of address.
