Chandigarh, April, 5
A local court has dismissed the bail applications of former journalist Sanjeev Mahajan and Inspector Rajdeep Singh in the alleged property grab case of Sector 37.
Mahajan and Inspector Rajdeep are among four accused arrested in the case so far. Mahajan was arrested on March 2, along with another accused Manish Gupta, soon after the police registered the FIR in the alleged fraud case against nine persons. The police registered the case against the accused under Sections 452, 331, 344, 365, 386, 419, 420, 465, 468, 471, 473, 474, 477 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code at the Sector 39 police station.
As per the FIR, the accused allegedly sold a house of Rahul Mehta in Sector 37 here fraudulently. The police alleged that some accused confined Mehta in a room and took his signatures on papers after torturing him.
Rahul Mehta was later abandoned at a stud farm in Gujarat from where he was shifted from one place to another. It is alleged that an imposter was produced before the office of sub-registrar at the time of execution of sale deed of the house.
The police arrested Rajdeep Singh, former SHO of the Sector 39 police station, on the charges of not taking any action on an initial complaint filed against the accused, who had allegedly forcibly occupied the house in Sector 37. The court rejected the bail after hearing the arguments on Friday. While Rajesh Sharma, counsel of the accused, claimed that Mahajan was falsely implicated in the case, special public prosecutor Manu Kakkar opposed the bail.
