The agency is investigating money laundering charges against the real estate firm.

Back in February 2024, a Prevention of Money Laundering Act court, Chandigarh, had issued summons to the directors of a real estate group in connection with a money laundering complaint filed by the Enforcement Directorate.

Notably, several cheating cases had been registered against GBP Group directors in Punjab and Chandigarh following complaints by homebuyers.

The ED stated that according to the FIRs, the buyers and investors were duped by promising them residential and commercial properties.

The accused developer had started real estate

projects on the Ambala-Chandigarh highway, Zirakpur, Mohali and New Chandigarh back in 2015-16 and 2016-17.
