Chandigarh resident duped of Rs 7 cr in Mohali; case filed

According to the DSP’s inquiry report, the land promised to the complainant was never registered in his name, and several of those plots were later sold to third parties. The report notes that multiple documents bear Pritpal Singh’s signature, corroborating the allegations. Cheques issued to Grewal have bounced, and the company allegedly failed to produce any valid record of payment.

Pritpal Singh, during the inquiry, maintained that he had “offered plots” and had also “returned money through cheques”, denying any wrongdoing or intimidation. However, the DSP found his explanations unsatisfactory. After examining statements and evidence, the inquiry officer recommended registration of a case under Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Acting on the report, the Mohali SSP directed the Sohana police to file an FIR. Police officials said further sections may be added if new evidence emerges during the investigation.
