Ludhiana: After a cheated man committed suicide, the Dehlon police have booked six people, including five of a finance company.
The man consumed pesticide and left a suicide note that blames these six people. The victim, Kuldeep Singh, 43 of Raniya village of this district, owned a shoe shop at Gill village. On the basis of the suicide note found on the body, the Dehlon police booked five staffers of Aulakh Finance Company, who include Harjeet Singh, Ramesh Kumar, and Laddi. Another accused is Narinder Kaur of Shimlapuri.
In her complaint to the police, Sarajit Kaur, wife of victim Kuldeep Singh, said: “About a year ago, my husband had taken Rs 2 lakh as loan from Aulakh Finance to invest in his business. The accused woman, Narinder Kaur, had introduced us to the company. My husband was paying all the instalments on time but the six accused changed the credit documents fraudulently to reflect a loan of Rs 6 lakh.”
She said: “My husband raised an objection with the company but the accused did not listen. Thereafter, he even contacted Narinder Kaur, who promised to help him initially but, later, started to force him to pay up Rs 6 lakh due, to which my husband was stressed.”
The complainant adds that on Thursday evening, her husband went to a field at Gill village, where he consumed pesticide after writing a suicide note naming the accused. The investigating officer, assistant sub-inspector Baljeet Singh of the Dehlon police station said: “On the basis of the suicide note and the statement of Sarabjot Kaur, wife of late Kuldeep Singh, we registered an FIR (first-information report) under sections 306 (abetment to suicide) and 34 (common intent in crime) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against the six accused and will proceed to arrest them.”
