Five in dock for forging documents
Chandigarh, March 4 Police said the accused not only fraudulently obtained signatures of members of the association, but also faked signatures of some person who had died. According the police, Manmohan Singh, general secretary of an association of motor market mechanics in Manimajra, lodged a complaint alleging that some person had forged documents to become office-bearers of the association. The association had purchased 14 acres of land in Zirakpur a few years ago at a very nominal price. Now with the boom in real estate prices in Zirakpur, price of the land is considerably higher. The accused named in the complaint include Kedar Nath Sethi, Satpal Sidhu, Kuljit Singh, Manpreet Singh and Subhash. Giving details about the modus operandi of the accused, police said they called a meeting of members of the association in a temple in the motor market. They kept a register at the gate and asked the members, who had come to attend the meeting, to sign it before entering. The unsuspecting members put their signatures in the register and the accused later drafted a resolution, thus changing the office bearers of the association. They later changed the content on the pages signed by the members. SHO of Manimajra police station Hari Kumar said during inquiry it was found that the accused had also faked signatures of persons who were no longer living. A case of forgery has been registered and police said addresses given by the accused were not true
and efforts were on to trace them. Meanwhile, in another case, Harish Sharma of Shimla has lodged a police complaint alleging that Priti, Nisha and R.Singh, all residents of Sector 22-D, had taken Rs 40,000 from him to provide a loan of Rs 30 lakhs. The accused neither provided him loan nor returned his money. A case of cheating and criminal conspiracy, under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code, has been registered at Sector 17 police station.
