PHAGWARA: In the infamous money laundering case, the City Police has registered a case against a Tehsildar, Patwari and the property owner under Section 420, 120-B IPC for selling the attached property to eight different persons with the connivance of the officers.
While confirming it Senior Superintendent of the Police Harkamalpreet Singh Khakh told this correspondent here today that, the persons against whom the case has been registered include Harmesh Kumar alias Gaba resident of B / 2-212 Dilbag Colony Goraya, Praveen Chibbarr Tehsildar, and Halqa Patwari.
He said that this case has been registered by the police on the complaint of Assistant Enforcement Directorate Jalandhar Riteish Srivastava. He said that an enforcement pass case was registered against Harmesh Kumar alias Gaba in which the department had attached his land at two places in Hadiabad which he could neither sell nor gift to anyone.
The department had forwarded the information to GABA and Sub-Registrar Phagwara and ordered evacuation of the property. Despite this, GABA sold the property to eight different persons whose registrations were done by the Tehsildar and Patwari who did not record the letter intentionally with a malafied intention in his records which revealed their collusion. The case has been registered after investigation.
