JAMMU, Sept 29: Crime Branch has registered a case against five persons for cheating the innocent person of hard earned money.
The accused persons are Julekha Khatoon, a resident of Sanjay Colony Okhala Phase-II, New Delhi, Suresh Kumar, son of Chote Lal of Naridan Kondal Delhi, Rakesh Kumar of Chandan Nagar near Shiv Mandir Muradabad, Rafiq-ul-Islam of Assam and Mukesh Sharma of Kanpur.
A spokesman of the Crime Branch said that one Meenu Gupta, wife of Dinesh Gupta of Lower Gadigarh lodged a written complaint mentioning that on December 15, 2010 she came across an advertisement published in a local news paper mentioning that any person having piece of land or accommodation and willing to install Aircel mobile tower on his/her landed property should contact on a particular phone number.
On this, the complainant made a phone call on the given number and one Shikha Verma asked her to deposit Rs 4430 in an account maintained in the name of one Rakesh Kumar. The complainant deposited the money and thereafter she received an agreement letter and other documents from Aircel Companies Pvt Ltd.
After some days, the complainant was contacted by one Purnima Aggarwal, who asked her to deposit Rs 34000 as tax in two accounts of SBI. She accordingly deposited the amount in account numbers maintained in the name of Mukesh Sharma and Rafiq-ul-Islam. Purnima Aggarwal assured her that she would get the tower installed on her land within 72 hours.
When nobody turned up to install the tower, the complainant visited Aircel office at Bahu Plaza and produced the documents she had received. The company officials categorically denied the publication of any such advertisement in the newspapers. In this way, she had been cheated/deprived of her hard earned money.
On the receipt of complaint, an enquiry was initiated in Crime Branch, Jammu based on which a formal case has been registered and investigation of the case is in progress.
