Major Breakthrough in Fraud Case
The Bhind Police have achieved a significant success by arresting a proclaimed offender carrying a reward of ₹10,000, who had been absconding for the past thirteen years in a high-profile fraud case. This accused had been continuously changing his location for over a decade to evade law enforcement.
The arrest was made possible under a special operation led by Additional Superintendent of Police Pradeep Patel and City Superintendent of Police Niranjan Singh Rajput, under the guidance of Superintendent of Police Suraj Kumar Verma. A reward of ₹10,000 had been declared for the accused's capture.
Allegations of Property Grabbing Through Forged Documents
The case dates back to July 4, 2013, when a resident of Mahavir Ganj filed a complaint against the accused and his wife at the Dehat police station. The complainant alleged that the accused was residing in his house as a tenant.
It is alleged that the accused prepared a forged Power of Attorney and transferred the property to his wife's name. Additionally, accusations of theft of valuable jewelry and other items from the house have also been made. In relation to this serious fraud, the police had registered a case under crime number 239/13.
Charges and Accused's Evasion
The charges filed include sections of the Indian Penal Code: 420 (Cheating), 467, 468 (Forgery of documents), 471 (Using as genuine a forged document), and 120 B (Criminal conspiracy).
Long-Term Evasion and Final Apprehension
The accused, who had been on the run for a long time, attempted to hide by changing his identity. However, due to an active network of informants and continuous police surveillance, he was finally arrested from the Bagchini area of Morena district.
This operation was carried out by a special team formed under the leadership of Station House Officer Inspector Shivpratap Singh Rajawat on November 12. The significant arrest involved commendable contributions from Sub-Inspector Pramod Singh Tomar, Head Constable Ravi Jadon, Constables Kamal Tomar, Ajit Sikarwar, Gyanendra Mishra, Sumit Sharma, Bhupendra Tomar, Firoz Khan, Awadhesh Chauhan, as well as members of the Cyber Cell.
The arrested accused will now be presented before the court through legal proceedings, from where his further judicial journey will be determined.
