When Dainik Bhaskar contacted Neeraj Daftuar on this whole matter, he said that all the allegations are false. He told that after the formation of the company, its directors Siddharth Lamba and Ashish Chandna bought land for Rs 2.73 crore. At the time of the land deal, both gave an advance of Rs 50 lakh and the rest in post dated cheques. When both of them could not pay for the land, they talked to us.
Both took two crore 93 lakh rupees from my wife and son as the cost of the land, which also included the stamp duty of the registry etc. Later, Rs 75 lakh was taken separately as profit. In all, our family spent about four crore rupees in this deal.
