ED Arrests Developer Amit Katyal in Gurugram Laundering Case as Court Grants Six Days' Custody

Investigators are tracing alleged fund diversions linked to licence irregularities at the stalled Krrish Florence Estate project.

Overview

  • The Enforcement Directorate's Gurugram zonal office detained Amit Katyal under the PMLA and a Gurugram special court remanded him to six days of custody.
  • The case stems from complaints over non-delivery of flats at Krrish Florence Estate, a 14-acre Sector 70 development tied to Angle Infrastructure and Krrish Realtech.
  • ED findings cited in reports allege money was collected from buyers before DTCP Haryana granted a licence and that fraudulent bookings were made, including in a scheme for government employees.
  • The agency says proceeds of crime exceed ₹300 crore, with probes also flagging diversion of public bank loans causing about ₹80 crore in losses and an undervalued transfer of 2 acres during insolvency.
  • The investigation followed FIRs by Gurugram Police and Delhi EOW, and Katyal was earlier chargesheeted in August in a separate homebuyer default case and arrested in 2023 in the land-for-jobs probe linked to Lalu Prasad's family.
