Another case of cheating has been registered against a Chandigarh woman, who has been duping people on the pretext of getting them Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) booths and flats with the help of her “closeness to top UT bureaucrats”.
This is the seventh case of cheating against Manjit Kaur and her son, Vijay Pal Singh, residents of Sector 51.
The fresh case was registered on complaint of Judge Paul Mehta, of Sector 51-A, Chandigarh, originally hailing from Ferozepur, who alleged that he was cheated of ₹97 lakh on the pretext of allotment of flats under discretionary quota in Sector 51-A.
He alleged that through various self-adulatory claims, Manjit claimed that she could get him two flats at ₹58.9 lakhs each and two booths at ₹6.5 lakhs each.
Therefore, he paid ₹1.35 crore between December 6, 2019, and January 28, 2020. But Manjit neither provided him allotment nor refunded the complete amount deposited.
As such, Mehta filed a police complaint, and a case under Sections 406, 420 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code was registered at the Sector 49 police station.
