Chandigarh, April 11

Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Wednesday intervened to resolve a dispute pertaining to a Mohali housing project. Over 40 sitting and former legislators had reportedly paid Rs 13.38 crore to two land developers for buying land for the project. The latter allegedly diverted the money to fund 2014 Punjab movie, ‘Jatt Risky’.

These leaders include Lal Singh, Madan Lal Jalalpur, Brahm Mohindra, Harchand Kaur and Ajit Inder Singh Mofar. Ghanaur MLA Jalalpur is the president of the Seven Star Welfare Society.

Members of the society got suspicious after they did not get the land promised to them in Sector 113-14 on the Kharar-Landran road. Subsequently, they stopped payments.

In the new agreement between the two parties, the developers have agreed to return the money in the form of showrooms and other properties in a housing project on the Mohali-Landran road. Sources said two SSPs, acting on the CM’s directions, played a key role during the negotiations.
