More trouble is brewing for Maytas Properties Ltd, the unlisted company promoted by the family of Satyam Computer Services Ltd founder B Ramalinga Raju.
Things went from bad to worse since December 2008 for people who purchased bungalows, villas and apartments at Maytas Hill County, promoted by Maytas Properties Limited (MPL) -- the company run by B Rama Raju (Jr), the younger son of Satyam Computer Services founder and former chairman B Ramalinga Raju.
This is to ensure that the amount paid by its customers was not used for other purposes, according to customers who have invested in company projects. The customers wanted the company to execute the Maytas Hill County project at the earliest. The delay was causing inconvenience to them due to soaring interest rates, they said, adding that a lot of people had paid the amount in full.
Minister for Corporate and Minority Affairs Salman Khursheed may have done a superb job of handling the Satyam fiasco, but he was put in a spot on Thursday by angry NRIs who wore T-shirts reading: Victims of Maytas.
