This is the seventh case of cheating against Manjit Kaur, a resident of Sector 51. This complaint was filed by Bhagi Rath Sharma, a resident of Sector 44. He alleged that in February 2020, Kaur offered to secure a flat and a booth for him in Sector 51. But even after he paid her ₹55 lakh, she neither fulfilled her promise nor returned the money.

A case under Sections 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code has been registered at the Sector 49 police station.

Manjit was arrested in July last year for duping a couple by luring them with house allotment. At the time of her arrest, police had recovered fake documents showing her as a member of the CHB allotment committee. She has been in judicial custody since.
