A Coimbatore court has directed the Central Crime Branch-II Police, Coimbatore to register First Information Report against four accused, including three of a family consisting of parents and their daughter, in a case of cheating in a land transaction.
In his order, Judicial Magistrate VII K. Indhirajith directed the CCB-II police to file compliance report within three days from the receipt of the order, and the final report within 60 days.
The petitioner, Sekar 58 of Gobichettipalayam, had approached the court stating that he had been cheated by one Radhakrishnan with whom he had finalised a sale agreement on Dec. 17, 2020, for purchase of a two-acre property in survey no. 435 at Vilankurichi.
Radhakrishnan’s wife Geetha Menon, daughter Rajitha Menon, and their family friend Ashraf had made mala fide promise that the land belonged to the family, and Sekar had paid ₹2.83 crore as advance.
However, Sekar had learnt later that the family had, 10 years prior to execution of sale, alienated a portion of the land and had deceived him with a different parent deed.
