The FIR further states, Gautam made a request to be given an allotment letter but to no avail. When construction work would not progress beyond the 14th floor, Rode asked the developer to refund his money, however, he didn’t get it.
When the daily contacted the builders, they were told that Gautam had asked for a refund but they refused as builders generally do not refund money. However, they’d asked the actor to wait, in good faith. The builders also claimed that it was the actor who was delaying in registering the flat.
