Housing society president held for fraud
Mohali, April 14 Kukreja had allegedly transferred Rs 25 lakh of the Society to his firm’s account. While Kukreja got a share of Rs 13 lakh, his accomplice Parminder Singh got Rs 12 lakh.

Following this, a case under Sections 406 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code was registered at the Mataur Police Station today. Giving details, sub-inspector Navin Pal Singh Lehal, SHO of Mataur Police Station, said, “Kukreja was arrested from his residence at Sector 37 in Chandigarh.

Notably, another case under similar sections of the Indian Penal Code was registered against Kukreja at the Mullanpur Police Station. It has been alleged that Kukreja illegally transferred the Society’s land worth over Rs 10 crores to a private firm, Altus Space Builders Private Limited, in March 2013. Jagdish Kumar was the complainant in that case too. Kukreja was booked for allegedly transferring the land (216 kanal 542 marla), registered in the name of the Society at village Ghandauli, to Atlus Space Builders Private Limited, while flouting Section 85(2) (X) and (XXXVIII) Rule 29 of the Punjab Cooperative Societies Act, 1961 here.

Notably, in January 2013, the management committee of the Society was also suspended by the authorities concerned, following complaints of irregularities by the office-bearer. Jagdish Kumar, assistant registrar, Dera Bassi, was then directed to look after the managerial works of the committee. The Society, having 276 members, has a total of 44 acres of land.

On every tour, we are asked to bear all expenses. We are doing our best but sometime things get out of hands. Last year, the participation of these players was confirmed at the eleventh hour and was a difficult financial affair to deal with. This time also, we are going to pay on our own as we have no sponsors or government aid. Even the association, working for these players, plays their own card in sending the teams abroad.
