(MOREPIC1) A complaint was received in EOW in which the complainant Sh. Yogesh Tyagi r/o Chattarpur Extn., New Delhi (Director of M/s Balaji Metropolis Pvt. Ltd.) alleged that one Gunveen Singh, along with one Jitin Pal Singh and others had fraudulently and dishonestly induced him by representing himself to be the holder of Agreement to Sell of 02 properties in Chattarpur, New Delhi, and further duped the complainant of Rs 4.85 crore. In view of the aforementioned facts and preliminary enquiry a case vide FIR No. 187/20, u/s 419/420/467/468/471/120(B) IPC, PS EOW, New Delhi was registered and investigation taken up.
The complainant had alleged that Gunveen Singh presented himself to be the Agreement to Sell holder of a property viz; Ahuja Farm, Mulberry Drive, DLF Chattarpur, of the owner Ravinder Kr. Ahuja, and the property is free from all encumbrances and he intends to sell the same. Subsequently, the deal was agreed to and the Agreement to Sell was executed in 2018. Accordingly, he paid Rs 2.80 crore to the alleged against the said deal through various banking instruments. In August 2018, the complainant learnt that the property is disputed and a civil suit is already pending. As such he demanded his money back.
Thereafter, the alleged again approached the complainant and informed that his paid amount against the above said property can be adjusted against another property, and offered the complainant to buy a plot in Ashoka Avenue, DLF Farms, Chattarpur. Gunveen Singh further told him that he is the Agreement to Sell holder of the original owners, viz; Ajay Sahni and Ram Sahni. Thus, another Agreement to Sell was executed by Gunveen Singh for a total consideration of Rs 2.10 crore.
Subsequently the complainant paid Rs 2.05 crore to Gunveen Singh, Ajay Sahni and Ram Sahni through various banking instruments. While receiving the payments, Ajay & Ram Sahni had assured that they are in process of getting the property mutated in their favour as the property was in the name of their deceased father. They also assured that they would execute the sale deed shortly. However, Ajay Sahni & Ram Sahni got issued a public notice in newspaper wherein it was mentioned that they have not entered into any agreement to sell in respect of the property with anyone.
Even there is some family dispute due to which the property cannot be sold, which was deliberately hidden by them. Thus, it emerged that Gunveen Singh was not authorized to execute the ATS, whereas it was represented that he has the authorization to do so. Thus, the complainant got cheated by the alleged persons.
