Gurgaon: A former security guard from Delhi was arrested for faking his identity and forging papers to orchestrate the sale of a Supreme Court-attached property in Sushant Lok-III.“The property is under the control of a committee constituted by the Supreme Court. Any transaction for the land without the court’s approval is illegal,” an officer said.The accused, Rajendra Singh, a native of Nepal, was allegedly part of a larger conspiracy to fraudulently sell the plot.An Economic Offences Wing team on Tuesday arrested the accused from Bengaluru, where he currently lives. Two others from the racket have also been arrested for their roles in the fraud.The matter came to light after a naib tehsildar filed a complaint on March 14, 2024, reporting that the attached property was sold using a fake board resolution, fabricated declarations and forged ownership documents.A sale deed was subsequently executed, enabling the accused and his associates to siphon off money.The officer said Singh assumed a false identity and procured fake Aadhaar and PAN cards in the name of a Ravinder Prasad. Using these documents, he opened a current account in the name of PGF Ltd and projected himself as its authorised representative.“A portion of the transaction amount was routed to the fake company account and later withdrawn through cheques,” the officer said.During interrogation, Singh disclosed he was recruited into the racket by other individuals. He admitted to receiving around Rs 5 lakh for his role in the fraud.Efforts are underway to identify and apprehend other members of the network, as well as to trace the financial trail and verify forged documents used in the transaction.The accused will be produced before a Gurgaon court, and further investigation is in progress.
