The chairman of Flex, Ashok Chaturvedi, was also sentenced to four years.Yadav was the chief of the Noida Development Authority seven years ago. The Noida Entrepreneurs' Association filed cases against her accusing her of manipulating out-of-turn allotments to bureaucrats, politicians, industrialists and family and friends.
