Vadodara: A man living in Subhanpura and his son-in-law were booked for cheating eight people of Rs 92.9 lakh.
On receiving complaint from one of the victims Sudhakar Rawal, a case of cheating was registered at Gotri police station on Tuesday against Jairaj Sagar and his son-in-law Balavenkateshwarlu Vasudevrai. Rawal told cops that the duo conned him by promising to help him buy seven shops in Gujarat Housing Board buildings in Laxmipura.
Rawal said that since he knew Sagar since 1986, he gave him Rs 75.3 lakh between June 2018 and October 2019 in different instalments. Sagar had told him that the shops are allotted only through draw, but since he had connections, he will ensure that Rawal gets the shops.
Meanwhile, the duo also told him that they are running classes for people trying to crack exams for jobs in banks and railways. They said that after training they can assure jobs for the candidates and asked Rawal to refer candidates to them.
