Third Indica won at Big CP Sale

NEW DELHI: Mukesh Gupta, a chemist from Model Town could hardly believe his luck when he was informed late on Sunday evening by Femina Miss India-Universe 2002 Neha Dhupia that he had won an Indica V2 car at the Big CP sale contest.

Gupta was the third person to get an Indica car through weekly draw of lots at the Big CP sale contest. The event is sponsored by Delhi Times. The scheme is open to shoppers till the September 1, when the sale ends.
Gupta had shopped at TQS. ‘‘The salespersons there asked me to fill up the contest form. But I never thought I would win,’’ he said.
