Two booked in Raipur land deal fraud of Rs 35 lakh
CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News / Agencies, Bhopal:
Raipur. A case has come to light in which Rs 35 lakh was allegedly taken in the name of buying land, after which the same land was registered in the name of another person. On the complaint of the victim, Telibandha police have registered a cheating case against two people and started an investigation. It is alleged that the land deal was fixed at Rs 60 lakh, but even after the money was taken, the buyer did not get ownership rights over the land.
According to police, advocate Shikhar Chaturvedi, a resident of VIP Road, said in his complaint that Vijay Sahajwani had shown him land at Pirda in Mahasamund district. The sale deed for the land was in the name of Rakesh Agrawal. A transaction dispute between Rakesh Agrawal and Shyam Jaswani over this land was pending in court, because of which certification of the land was not being completed.
According to the complaint, in the name of resolving the dispute, Rs 10 lakh was deposited in Rakesh Agrawal’s account through NEFT on September 18, 2024. After this, Rs 10 lakh in cash was given to Shyam Jaswani on January 14, 2025, and Rs 15 lakh was given on May 14 in the name of other expenses. In this way, a total of Rs 35 lakh was paid.
It is alleged that an assurance was given that the land would be registered after the dispute ended, but on June 9, 2025, the same land was registered in the name of Sunil Nandlal Sukhramani. The victim neither got the land nor was the money returned. On the basis of the complaint, police have registered a case against Vijay Sahajwani and Rakesh Agrawal and started examining documents and transactions.
