MOHALI: The special investigation team (SIT) comprising Derabassi police officials has nominated two more accused — a realtor and a revenue department employee — in the first information report (FIR) registered in the fake no objection certificate (NOC) scam.
Two persons, another realtor and a deed writer-cum-stamp vendor, have already been arrested in the case and are in two-day police remand.
However, the police refrained from revealing the identity of the latest accused, saying that they were yet to be arrested. Their names were revealed by the arrested accused — Gulshan Kumar of ward number 18 and Suresh Kumar of ward number 15 in Derabassi — during their custodial interrogation.
It has also been learnt that to get a fake NOC, anything between Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh was being sought.
Derabassi assistant superintendent of police (ASP) Darpan Ahluwalia, who is a member of the SIT, said that Gulshan, the realtor, had got 77 such fake NOCs prepared for his own use to fraudulently get the land registered in his favour.
“He has confessed to having procured 77 fake NOCs through this module and paid Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh for an NOC to revenue department officials. The advantage was to get NOC for a land and facilitating in getting it registered and proceed for selling it further to make huge profits. We will be identifying the land sold on these fake NOCs,” the ASP said.
He said the fake NOCs also led to loss to exchequer as the processing fee to be paid to the government was skipped besides violation of Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act.
The SIT headed by SP Jyoti Yadav, along with ASP Darpan Ahluwalia and Derabassi station house officer sub-inspector Ajitesh Kaushal, is probing the fake NOC scam.
ASP Ahluwlia said the two, in connivance with other revenue department officials, had got 77 fake NOCs since January till August. “More accused will be brought forth during further interrogation of the two arrested accused,” he added.
Now, two more accused have been nominated in the FIR, the ASP said.
