Humanitarian Crisis Persists at DPS Housing Society in Delhi
DPS Cooperative Group Housing Society (DPS CGHS or DPS Housing Society), Plot No. 16, Sector 4, Dwarka, New Delhi 110 078
By Rakesh Raman
The criminal activities of the past and present managing committee (MC) members of DPS CGHS include corruption, fraud, cheating, bribery, intimidation, illegal surveillance, breach of privacy, illegal car parking, labour / human rights violations, illegal appointment of vendors, environmental damage, defiance of court orders, obstruction of justice, and so on.
In order to circumvent the legal action against them, some of the MC members have quit their positions. Now, their illegal activities are being continued by their accomplices including president W.B. Santhosh, vice president Mangu Ram Tyagi, secretary Vikas Sharma, and treasurer Ms. Shashi Chouhan. These new MC members are equally involved in the crimes happening at DPS CGHS.

UPDATE: July 6, 2023
The court hearing has been scheduled.
UPDATE: May 6, 2023
Although I had not updated this page during the past couple of years, this is to inform you that the DPS CGHS MC has been under multiple investigations by the police and other authorities.
The Delhi Police (Economic Offences Wing, Crime Branch, and the Vigilance Branch) have informed me that up to April 2023, the DPS CGHS MC members are being regularly interrogated. The DPS CGHS MC members and / or their accomplices are giving wrong / misleading information to the police.
The police have also directed the office of Registrar Cooperative Societies (RCS) to again open the corruption investigation at DPS CGHS while the earlier investigation done by the inquiry officer Mr. Pankaj Kumar, IAS (District Magistrate (North-East) Delhi) was flawed and presumably done after taking bribes.
I had complained against Mr. Pankaj Kumar who himself is now facing corruption investigation through DoPT and the Cabinet Secretariat of the Government of India.
Also, the police have informed me that an FIR under Section 304-A and other IPC sections has been filed for lethal construction at DPS CGHS and because of which a construction worker died. The case is under way.
And the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has repeatedly informed me that the permission for FAR construction at DPS CGHS – which was withdrawn in 2020 in response to the complaints filed by me – has not been restored while the case is at the ATMCD court. In this regard, I received the latest information from DDA this month (May 2023). Meanwhile, I am taking various steps to tackle the case at the ATMCD court.
UPDATE: September 19, 2021
As the managing committee (MC) members of DPS CGHS are blatantly defying the law in a number of criminal cases that they are facing, their arrest and custodial interrogation have become inevitable to stop the incidents of crime.
DPS Co-op. Group Housing Society (DPS CGHS) Managing Committee (MC) Members who need to be Interrogated by the Anti-Corruption and other Law-Enforcement Agencies:

(More names of persons that have appeared in the official documents related to corruption / illegal activities are given below on this page.)
As corruption has been persisting in DPS CGHS for more than 15 years (or may be from its inception), there are nearly 20 more persons including the past MC members who are involved in corrupt practices and who need to be interrogated.
IMPORTANT: The details of chronic corruption in DPS CGHS are available in the Society’s records as well as the government files, as government has ordered a number of inquiries to find out the financial and other irregularities in DPS CGHS. The MC members have formally admitted that corruption has been happening in DPS CGHS, but they are trying to get the government inquiries stopped by hook or by crook.
