Summary: Radia discusses the purchase of some property with Harinder Singh, Founder-Chairman and the Managing Director of Realistic Realtors, for which she had a word with Sanjay Chandra (probably from real estate developers Unitech), "who will have a look at it himself". "Principally, we will go along with it," says Radia. The conversation gives an impression of manipulation of the property price to keep it around (Rs) 60 (crore?) by keeping the number of bidders minimum through support bids from Harinder's companies and also talk about "adjustments" in the mode of payment.

Nira: Ah haan...
Harinder: Basically we are only controlling the transaction so we are just getting three four competetive bids and you know because they have much if they go out all aggressively in the market...
Nira: Ah haan...
Harinder: ...they would have got, you know like too many bids on too many values but we are just trying to control in a manner that it should be a - minimum people should know and they should only give the support bids (voices in the background)...

Harinder: Ya, that's right. That's the bid we're trying to give them and we're really keeping our fingers crossed that no body should you know come in between and spoil it at the last minute and we should be able to get it this out on this value.
