New Delhi, Jan 12: A body representing successful
applicants of the DDA's recent housing scheme today demanded
that the process of handing over flats to "genuine" allottees
should be started soon.
In a letter to Delhi Lt Governor Tejinder Khanna, DDA
Housing Scheme 2008 Allottes' Association has appealed to him
to cancel allotments of only bogus applicants and punish only
the guilty.
A large number of allottees, who claimed they had applied
through "legitimate" documents, staged a demonstration at the
DDA headquarter here asking authorities not to "penalise" them
for the acts of "some persons who indulged in fraudulent
activities".
A delegation of the association also met the DDA
authorities who they claimed have assured them that the
process of handing over the flats would begin soon after the
probe is over.
The DDA has constituted an inquiry committee to
investigate the alleged irregularities in the draw of lots
that held on December 16 last year. The panel is expected to
submit its report by January 24.
Meanwhile, Indian Justice Party chief Udit Raj lashed out
at police for the arrest of law graduate Deepak Kumar in
connection with the scam, saying it was "not fair" to target a
person who helped in revealing the "facts".
"What was the police doing for the past two months. We
(Raj and Kumar) informed police about the things to come. We
asked the DDA to stop the process. Now, police is targeting a
person who helped in unravelling the crime though he was part
of it initially," Raj said here.
