A Punjab and Haryana High Court advocate has alleged that five persons attempted to forcibly occupy his house in Zirakpur and threatened to kill him and his family. Based on his complaint, the Zirakpur police has registered a case and launched an investigation.
According to the complaint filed by Rajvinder Singh Jolly, a resident of Block-G, Aerocity, he is a practising advocate at the Punjab and Haryana High Court. He stated that he had purchased a 200-square-yard plot in 2022.
Jolly alleged that due to financial constraints, one Amrit Huriya offered him a loan and, as security, got 67 per cent ownership of the plot transferred in his name, while the remaining 33 per cent remained in Jolly’s name.
The complainant said he constructed the entire house at his own expense and had been living there with his family for a considerable period.
He alleged that on March 19, when he returned home with his family, he found the main gate lock broken and several people present inside the house.
