Shahpura police have booked a man for cheating to the tune of Rs 9 lakh by providing cheques which are not issued by banks anymore; accused returned the borrowed money through cheque which got dishonoured.
The victim had given Rs 9 lakh to the accused through different channels, but when he asked for it back, he kept evading it and when he was pressurized, he handed over the old cheque which is not in use by banks. The check given by the accused was out of circulation as it was quite old.
According to SI Naveen Pandey, the victim Manish Singh Bagga (48) of Shahpura lodged a complaint against his acquaintance Amit Saxena and his mother Asha.
Manish claimed that he gave around Rs 9 lakh to Amit through cheques and cash and when Manish asked for his money back, Amit refused. A few days later, Amit gave a cheque to Manish on January 18, 2022 in the name of a firm named Sai Nursery, which was returned by the bank on March 19 2022 as these kinds of cheques were not issued by the bank anymore.
The complainant said that the accused was his old friend, because of which he had given him money. On demanding the money back, accused Amit Saxena and mother Asha cheated him by giving him a fake cheque. It had the signatures of both Amit and his mother and when the cheque is deposited in the bank, it was found that it is now out of circulation.
