Fake information on a car theft has landed a youth in jail on Wednesday. According to Jwalapur police station in-charge Amarjeet Singh, one Dheeraj Kansal, a resident of Shiv Mandir Colony, lal Mandir, Jwalapur, informed police that his car bearing the registration number UP 14 BA-0017 had been stolen by some unidentified persons from his house. “As the information came from the control room our team set out to recover the car.
The car was located near Balabali bridge in Khanpur block. But later we found in course of investigation that the complainant had purchased the car from one Ravindra from Bijnor.
As he failed to pay the full payment to Ravindra the latter took the car back. Dheeraj lodged the complaint to implicate the real owner of the car in a car lifting case,” he said, adding that Deeraj was arrested for lodging a fake case and sent to jail aside from being slapped with a penalty.
