Lured them with the promise of providing govt jobs
Tribune News Service
Panchkula, April 4
A con man posing as Haryana Speaker and local MLA Gian Chand Gupta’s relative allegedly duped four persons of Rs8 lakh by promising them government jobs.
Satnam Singh, a resident of Dera Bassi, said suspect Prince Gupta, who claimed to be a relative of the Haryana Speaker, assured him of a job of a peon in the Sector 20 branch of Punjab National Bank for his wife Kuldeep Kaur.
The suspect demanded Rs2 lakh for the job from the victim. Satnam gave the money to him. However, when he approached the bank, there was no vacancy.
Similarly, the suspect took Rs6 lakh from his three relatives – Jagjar Singh, Harmeet Singh and Jagjeet Singh – for the post of Home Guards volunteer.
“Neither did he return our money nor did he provide the promised job,” the complainant said.
A case under Sections 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC has been registered in this connection.
Assistant Sub-Inspector Vinod Kumar, who is the investigating officer in the case, said he was yet to read the file of the case.
Inspector Deepak Kumar, SHO of the Chandimandir police station, said following directions from the economic offences wing, a case had been registered and investigation was underway.
