Panchkula, November 17: The local police have registered a case against 10 persons for their involvement in committing a property fraud allegedly in connivance with officials of the Housing Board, Panchkula, and the Revenue Department.
The suspects first got a conveyance deed of a house prepared after showing a dead woman alive and then sold the property twice in a fraudulent manner.
The role of officials of the Housing Board and the Revenue Department, Panchkula, has also come under the scanner. While Housing Board officials prepared the conveyance deed without verifying the facts, the Revenue Department registered the property twice without verification even though there was a power of attorney in the name of Raksha Kumari, who had died before the conveyance deed was made.
Sharda Bhalla, a resident of house number 414 A in Sector 6, came to know about it and filed a complaint with the police. She also showed the death certificate of the woman. She said her father-in-law and husband had purchased house number 414 A in 1981 from Raksha Kumari.
She said instead of getting the property registered in their name, they got the power of attorney. She said the suspects got the conveyance deed prepared on September 26, 2014, by showing Raksha Kumari alive even though she had died on March 19, 2012.
Since the property was in the name of Sharda Bhalla’s father-in-law, the suspects also involved her husband, Anil Bhola, who, she alleged, was a drug addict. The suspects first transferred Raksha Kumari’s property in the name of Sarvesh and Madhur and then the same property was registered in the name of Anil Goyal.
At present, Sharda Bhalla, along with her daughter, stays in Hyderabad, while her husband Anil Bhola, brother-in-law and others live in Panchkula. When she visited Panchkula in 2016, some persons known to her informed her that the house had been sold. After this, she came to know that the house had been sold twice and the second time the house was sold for Rs 2 crore. She alleged that the suspects had threatened to eliminate her if she reported the matter to the police.
Arvind Kumar, SHO of the Sector 5 police station, said a case under Sections 181, 406, 420, 465, 467, 471 and 120 B of the IPC had been registered against 10 persons — complainant Sharda Bhalla’s husband Anil, sister-in-law Shashi Rajput, Sarvesh Rajput, Madhur Rajput, Arun Kumar, Mukesh Kumar, Anil Kumar, Mahesh Verma, Anil Goyal and Rahul Jain.
