AMIT Khulve, a 34-year-old resident of the north Indian city of Noida, is still paying off the mortgage on an apartment he's never lived in. The sales executive says he borrowed about 500,000 rupees (S$10,280) in 2012 and pulled another one million rupees from his savings to reserve a flat in a building planned by the property developer Unitech.
Six years on, the project hasn't been built, and he's among hundreds fighting to recover their investments. Unitech's founders have been jailed on charges of cheating, which they deny.
