The accused has been identified as Rohit Jain, who runs a dairy in Raman Enclave.

He was booked on Friday on the complaint of Dr Sunil Mittu, resident of Rishi Nagar.

Dr Mittu said Jain was a patient and a family friend, whom he had lent Rs 15 lakh in cash in 2018. Though Jain promised to pay back in a few days, he contacted his bank to stop the payment after issuing a cheque in the doctor’s name. When Dr Mittu contacted him, Jain threatened him.

Similarly, Jain also owed an advocate, Ashok Mittu, Rs 5 lakh, and another lawyer, Surinder Chawla, Rs 12 lakh.

Inspector Jarnail Singh, SHO, Division Number 8 police station, said Jain had been booked under Sections 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal code and will be arrested soon.
