Hyderabad, March 13: Automobile major BMW India Pvt Ltd is facing a cheating case. The Hyderabad City Central Crime Station has registered a cheating case against the company based on a complaint lodged by GVR Infra Projects Ltd alleging that the car firm had fudged its retail sales figures and sold a defective car.
BMW in turn approached the AP High Court seeking a direction to quash the proceedings. It contended that the dispute did not attract criminal provisions and at the highest relate to a consumer and or civil dispute.
Meanwhile, the court gave a green signal to the police to go ahead with the investigation. It, however, directed them not to arrest any company officials.
According to the police, the managing director of city-based GVR Infra, Mr G. Pavan Kumar, complained that he had purchased a BMW-7 series car from Delta Cars Pvt Ltd here on September 25, 2009. The wheel alignment of the car was defective.
Mr Kumar told the police that his enquiries with the car company revealed that these problems were common with “dynamic drive package” and the company was aware of the issue. Despite this the company was selling cars to unsuspecting customers across the nation, he said.
He also charged that the company was luring customers by publicising false and fudged sales figures. The case will come up for hearing on Monday.
