A Delhi court has reignited a high-profile fraud investigation, implicating former cricketer and current Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir. The court set aside a previous ruling that discharged Gambhir and others in a case alleging flat buyers were cheated.
The case concerns real estate ventures allegedly linked to Gambhir, who served as a director and brand ambassador for the involved companies. A special judge criticized previous findings as lacking depth and directed further investigation, highlighting Gambhir's direct role and financial transactions.
The allegations stem from an Indirapuram housing project, where buyers claim they were lured by advertisements but saw no significant development. The court's decision mandates a thorough examination of charges against each accused.
