Ludhiana, January 7

A city resident has got a case of cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy registered against his daughter-in-law and her kin for stealing his signed cheques of worth Rs 88 lakh.

On complaint of Indertejpal Singh, the Model Town police registered a case against his daughter-in-law Manpreet Kaur, her father Naunihal Singh of Delhi, Jasvir Singh of Chattisgarh, Kanwarpal of Noida, Pirthipal Singh of Karnataka and Kuldeep Singh of Ludhiana. A case in this regard was registered yesterday.

The complainant said his son Shaminder Pal got married to Manpreet Kaur in 2012. Last year, Manrpeet left home over some issue and started living with her parents in Delhi.

“In October, 2020, Manpreet’s father called and said he would come to collect his daughter’s gold ornaments, which they had given at the time of marriage as she had to attend some function. Besides taking ornaments, the accused stole several signed cheques of my son,” the complainant alleged.

Complainant further stated that the accused deposited three separate cheques of Rs40 lakh, Rs20 lakh and Rs28 lakh in bank for encashment, but due to insufficient balance in account, these bounced and a notice was issued to his son.

Manrpeet has already filed a dowry harassment complaint against her husband and in-laws in Delhi.

Investigation officer ASI Harmesh Singh said after registration of case, further probe had been launched.
