“Back in 2015, Mohar Singh Yadav had given Rs. 35 lakh to Ved Prakash Solanki for buying a plot. But he didn’t give him the plot and instead gave the complainant a cheque of Rs 35 lakh, which bounced. Thereafter, Mohar Singh went to the court,” said Prajapat.

“I will appeal against the verdict. I don’t know any Mohar Singh Yadav and I have already registered a case of cheating against him for misusing the cheque. I’ve secured bail,” Solanki told The Indian Express on Wednesday.
