An FIR has been filed against six directors of two real estate firms Ameya Commercial Projects and Anek Estates and Ventures LLP in relation to an alleged INR 5 crore fraud tied to a commercial project in Sector 57, Gurugram. Gurgaon police registered the case at Sector 56 police station under Sections 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code after a resident of Sector 54 lodged a complaint stating she was misled into investing in the Ameya Sapphire 57 development on assurances of timely possession and financial credibility of the developers. The complainant alleged that despite the occupation certificate being issued in July 2025, neither physical possession nor execution of the sale deed was delivered, and she was compelled to pay into a separate firm's account purportedly to evade legal liability. Police said no arrests have yet been made and a detailed investigation is under way.
Gurugram police have registered a first information report against six directors of two real estate companies in connection with an alleged INR 5 crore real estate fraud tied to a commercial development in Sector 57, Gurugram. The FIR was lodged at the Sector 56 police station under Sections 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code following a complaint by a resident of Sector 54 earlier this week.

According to the complaint, the investor was introduced to the Ameya Sapphire 57 project through a real estate agent who assured her of the developers credibility and financial soundness. She purchased four units and paid the full sale consideration after being persuaded by commitments of timely possession and a robust project delivery track record. An agreement to sell dated 16 May 2024 was executed, recording that no further payments were due.
The complaint alleges that despite the occupation certificate for the project being issued on 28 July 2025, the developer failed to hand over physical possession or execute the sale deed within the agreed timeline. Instead, the investor says she was compelled to deposit the entire payment into the bank account of Anek Estates and Ventures LLP, described in the complaint as a sister concern of the principal developer, purportedly to divert funds and evade legal accountability.
The six accused three directors each from Ameya Commercial Projects and Anek Estates and Ventures have been named in the FIR. They are Sanjay Gupta, Deepak Gupta and Akshat Gupta from Ameya Commercial Projects, and Anjali Gupta, Ekta Gupta and Varuni Gupta from Anek Estates and Ventures.
In her complaint, the investor further alleged that she faced verbal abuse, humiliation and threats from the directors when she sought possession or a refund, contributing to fear and mental trauma. Police sources told reporters that while no arrests have yet been made, further action will be taken following a detailed investigation into the matter.
The case adds to a string of legal disputes in the national capital region's real estate sector, where buyers increasingly allege delays in possession, diversion of funds and failure to execute sale deeds despite full payment, prompting regulatory scrutiny and criminal investigations in some instances.
