Punjab: Cheating case registered against former IPS officer

BATHINDA: A case has been registered against retired IPS officer Amrit Brar for cheating in a long-drawn family property dispute at NRI police station in Bathinda. The case was registered on the complaint of retired IAS officer Sukhdeep Kaur Brar, who though resides at Washington DC in USA, is a permanent resident of Abul Khurana village in Muktsar district.
Both are related to each other and the case pertains to a dispute of properties at Abul Khurana village in Muktsar and Fazilka. The family have properties at Delhi also and Sukhdeep Brar is fighting legal battle in Delhi high court for share in that property.
In her complaint made to additional director general of police (ADGP) NRI Affairs Punjab on February 26, Sukhdeep had claimed that her late father-in-law Gurdarshan Singh Brar, before his death in 2013, had clearly mentioned in his will that if his daughter Amrit gets married she will be owner of only Delhi-based property but Amrit somehow got her registered as partner in properties at Abul Khurana and Fazilka by presenting documents to the revenue department. When a case was filed in Delhi high court for share in Delhi property, it came out that Amrit had no right in properties at Abul Khurana and Fazilka.
Bathinda NRI police station house officer, inspector Harjinder Kaur said “The complaint was made by Sukhdeep some time ago and senior officers of the department made thorough investigations into the matter pertaining to property dispute and it is after investigations and taking legal opinion that the case u/s 420 IPC (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) has been registered against retired IPS officer Amrit Brar on late Friday night and further investigations are on.”
