According to the complaint filed by Rupesh Kumar Singh, and the highly-placed sources in the EOW reported to TNIE, Amrapali Group bosses “spun attractive dreams to lure customers and their money, making skilful use of Dhoni for this purpose.”

It was reported that the sole objective of making Dhoni the brand ambassador is that his name attracts people to deposit their hard-earned funds in the housing projects.

The FIR stated that the Amrapali Group has garnered Rs 2647 crores from its homebuyers for various projects. The money was diverted to various sources when the projects were under left stranded.

Rupesh Kumar also claimed in his complaint that in a scam that involves big money as in this case, the role of Greater Noida Authority Officials cannot be ignored.
