The Enforcement Directorate’s inquiry stems from instructions by the Dwarka Court in Delhi, leading to a case being registered on May 29, 2024, by the Economic Offences Wing. Godrej Properties maintains that similar claims have been previously investigated by leading agencies such as the CBI and Economic Offences Wing, both of which cleared the company of any wrongdoing.
In its statement, Godrej Properties accused its joint venture partner of making baseless allegations to exert pressure for unreasonable demands. The company announced its intention to pursue legal action to address the reputational damage caused by the allegations.
The allegations have brought significant attention to the ongoing ED probe, with officials already questioning key personnel from the company. Gridlocks in summoning certain officials suggest potential delays in the inquiry’s progress.
