Arrest and Charges

Amit Gupta, managing director of Gurugram-based Orris Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, was arrested by Mumbai Police on Sunday in connection with a case registered on a complaint by Godrej Properties Ltd. The complaint alleges forgery, cheating, criminal breach of trust, and criminal conspiracy, according to officials. Gupta was arrested in Amritsar in connection with FIR No. 0183/2026, registered at Vikhroli police station on March 17. He was produced before a court and remanded in police custody until August 27.

The case relates to a dispute involving the Godrej Air project in Sector 85, Gurugram, which was being developed through a partnership between Godrej Properties and Orris Infrastructure. The FIR invokes several provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita relating to forgery, use of forged documents, cheating, criminal breach of trust, and criminal conspiracy. Besides Gupta, Saurabh Agarwal and his company Orris Tower have also been named in the FIR, as reported by The Times of India.

Allegations in the Complaint

According to the FIR, Godrej Properties alleged that unauthorised changes were made to the LLP's statutory records filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) using false documents. The complaint refers to a Form-3 allegedly filed with the ROC on January 14, 2026, as reported by Hindustan Times, Moneycontrol, and Outlook Business. The Times of India additionally reported that the complaint referred to Form-3 and Form-4 filings allegedly submitted in January 2026.

Godrej Properties alleged that its nominated partner was removed from the records without authorisation, and another individual was shown as a partner. The Times of India specified that Saurabh Agarwal was shown as an appointed partner. The company also questioned an alleged transfer of its 37.5 per cent interest in the LLP. The Times of India further reported that the complaint alleged Gupta and others fabricated minutes, resolutions, and supporting documents to make these unauthorised changes, and that there was no valid partners' meeting or resolution approving the changes. According to the FIR, the alleged actions were intended to gain control over the LLP and its assets, including funds and receivables connected with the project. Godrej Properties also alleged that public notices were put out and representations made claiming termination of its development rights.

Company Response and Other Cases

Orris is a Gurugram-based company with its corporate office in DLF Phase 2, Gurugram. There was no immediate comment from the company on the developments. A senior police officer in Gurugram said authorities were seeking Gupta's arrest in a case registered at Kherki Daula police station in July in connection with a land collaboration dispute.

Impact on Homebuyers

Gupta's arrest has also brought renewed attention to around 1,650 homebuyers of Orris' Greenopolis project in Gurugram, who have been awaiting possession for years. The buyers have claimed that a substantial portion of the sale consideration was paid by many families before construction was halted, leaving them without homes while continuing to bear financial commitments. The Enforcement Directorate had earlier investigated Orris Infrastructure and its directors in connection with an alleged large-scale real estate fraud case.
