Chandigarh, March 31
A local court has dismissed the bail application of Manish Gupta, arrested in an alleged property fraud case in Sector 37. Manish Gupta is one of the four accused arrested by the police in the case registered on March 2, 2021.
All are in judicial custody. The hearing in the application was fixed today. Gupta's counsel claimed before the court that, "Manish Gupta is neither the seller nor the purchaser of the property. He has nothing to do with the entire case." He claimed that Gupta was innocent and arrested by the police only because he was elder brother of Saurabh Gupta, who bought the property.
However, the police opposed the bail application citing the charges against him. After hearing arguments the court dismissed the bail application.
Meanwhile, another accused in the case Inspector Rajdeep Singh has also applied for the bail. The police arrested Rajdeep on the charge of not taking any action on a complaint filed against the accused, who had allegedly forcibly occupied the house. The counsel of the accused claimed in the bail application that Rajdeep was falsely implicated in the case. The court will hear arguments on his bail application tomorrow along with the bail application of another accused Sanjeev Mahajan.
The police registered the case against the accused under Sections 452, 331, 365 , 386, 420, 465 , 477 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code.
As per the FIR the accused allegedly sold a house of Rahul Mehta in Sector 37, Chandigarh, fraudulently. The police alleged that the accused confined Mehta in a room for a few days and took his signatures on papers after torturing him. Later, Mehta was abandoned at a stud farm in Gujarat from where he was shifted from one place to another. It is alleged that an imposter replaced Rahul Mehta, who was produced before the office of the sub-registrar at the time of the execution of the sale deed of the house.
