Ferozepur, June 29, 2016: An incident of relative cheating his own relative has come to the fore at Mamdot – a town near Ferozepur – by offering job to a girl in Food & Supplies Department and minting money with false promises.
A resident of Mamdot, Sukhdev Singh informed that his sister-in-law lives in Rajasthan and some time back, her son Amarjit Singh visited his house and posed of having influence with the senior officers. He gave assurance to arrange a job for my daughter in Food & Supplies by paying Rs.4.5 lakhs. Despite my saying that she is still studying in BA and not in need of a job but he pressurized us not to miss the chance and handed over him Rs.3.5 lakhs by mortgaging one acre landed property and rest of the money was arranged by getting a payment against the limit in State Bank of Patiala.
Later on, he started making excuses and did not attend the phone calls even.
He said, even during November, he had gone to Rajasthan alongwith panchayat members and ask to hush up the matter by taking one kanal land. However, when he later on backed out, a written complaint was given to the SSP and after thorough investigation a case was registered against Mohinder Singh, Avinash Kaur and Amarjit Singh under various Sections of law.
No arrest has so far been made, the sources said.
