The operation focused on Orris Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, its directors and promoters Vijay Gupta and Amit Gupta, as well as Three C Shelters Pvt Ltd and its promoter-directors Nirmal Singh Uppal and Vidhur Bhardwaj.

According to the ED, the accused companies and individuals are facing charges of cheating, criminal breach of trust, and fraud involving numerous homebuyers. The FIRs allege that Orris Infrastructure Pvt Ltd and Three C Shelters Pvt Ltd had entered into a collaboration agreement to develop a residential project called Greenpolis in Sector 89, Gurugram, Haryana, on a 47-acre land parcel owned by Orris Group. The development rights for the project were granted to Three C Shelters Pvt Ltd.
