- In 2018, Gautam Rode, along with two others, allegedly fell victim to a scam involving a real estate project in Gorgaon West area. The project was originally a 55-story building, with 14 floors designated as Rhodes Apartments. Development stopped in 2016 and no progress has been made since. Rode lodged a complaint with the Mumbai police and subsequently filed a first information report (FIR) with Atithi Patel, a real estate developer who was involved in the project at the time. According to Lord’s complaint, he was promised the building would be completed in December 2018. To get the apartment, Lord paid a down payment of Rs 1.5 lakh, followed by monthly installments of Rs 5 lakh between May 2016 and May 2017, totaling Rs 2.11 crore. However, Rohde encountered problems in requesting allotment letters and apartment registrations as Patel failed to provide the information. At this time, Rhodes discovered that there was no progress after the 14th floor of the building. He asked for a refund, but Patel refused. Builders typically don’t issue refunds after cancellations, according to Patel’s representatives, but they advised Lord to wait and have faith. The representative did not provide any information about the status of the construction site in Goregaon. Additionally, the representative noted in an email that Rod caused delays in apartment registration.
