Delhi Property Scam:
A major fraud concerning a highly valuable property has surfaced in the elite South Extension Part-1 area of Delhi. In this case, the Delhi Police have registered an FIR involving charges of fraud, forgery, and criminal conspiracy. According to the police, the property is estimated to be worth approximately 1.5 to 2 billion INR. A prominent businessman filed the complaint, alleging illegal attempts to sell the property worth crores. The police have launched an investigation given the seriousness of the case.
Businessman Files Complaint
The complainant in this case is identified as Dhruv Jalan, a businessman based in Gurugram. According to the FIR, the complaint was lodged on January 22nd. Dhruv Jalan claims that the disputed property has been in his family's ownership for a long time. He informed the police that the land legally came into his inheritance. Despite this, the alleged perpetrators attempted to fraudulently sell the property.
Property Allocated in 1958
According to the complaint, the approximately 2,292 square yard plot located in South Extension Part-1 was allocated to Dhruv Jalan's grandfather, Amar Chand Jalan, in 1958. Since then, the property has remained with the Jalan family. The complainant stated that the family maintained an undisputed right to this land for years. No ownership disputes had arisen before. The current fraud has thus shocked the family.
How Ownership Rights Were Obtained
According to Dhruv Jalan, a valid will was made in his favor in 1997. Subsequently, other legal heirs in the family signed a relinquishment deed in 2008, making him the sole and absolute owner of the property. The complaint also stated that he has continuously possessed this property since 2008, with no disputes or claims arising in between.
Fake Sale for ₹410 Million
The complaint alleges that a fake sale deed was prepared, dated January 30, 2025. This document depicted the entire property being sold for merely ₹410 million. Dhruv Jalan states that this amount is significantly lower than the property's real value, describing it as a deliberate fraud. According to police officials, this deal is entirely suspicious.
Conspiracy with Fake Documents
The complainant accused the sale deed was crafted based on forged documents, including an alleged Agreement to Sell and General Power of Attorney dated December 7, 2018. It was claimed these documents were created by his father and a family company. Dhruv Jalan asserts that neither his father nor the company ever signed such documents, terming it all a part of a criminal conspiracy.
Wrongful Registration
The FIR also alleges that the fake sale deed was registered at the Mehrauli sub-registrar office, which does not have jurisdiction over the property. Police officials state this constitutes a serious violation of regulations. The complainant asserts that a wrongful registration was deliberately carried out to evade investigation. This aspect is also a crucial part of the inquiry.
Accused of Being Habitual Offenders
Dhruv Jalan's complaint claims the accused have previously been involved in similar property frauds. He accused these individuals of being habitual offenders, active in large-scale real estate scams. The complainant believes such fraudulent sales could harm many people, necessitating a thorough investigation.
Mortgage for Bank Loans Suspected
The complaint also raises the concern that the fake sale deed might be used to secure large bank loans. The allegation is that the accused might plan to mortgage this property to obtain multi-crore loans. This threat prompted Dhruv Jalan to approach the police immediately. Currently, the Delhi Police have registered the FIR and the investigation is ongoing.
