Car snatching complaint found fake

The police found the complaint of a car snatching lodged by a man from Dashmesh Nagar to be fake and said he had concocted the story to get car insurance claim.
Varun Jain, resident of Dashmesh Nagar on January 30 had lodged a complaint with the police that four armed men had allegedly snatched his Tata Indigo car from him at a gunpoint in the wee hours here.
During investigation, it came to light that Varun along with his friend Harjit Singh, alias Billu had allegedly planned to "create a drama", in order to get car insurance claim after lodging a false complaint of car snatching, police said.

"Varun was not in good financial condition. Then he along with Harjit concocted a story under a well thought conspiracy to get insurance claim," a police official said.
After getting insurance claim, both had also planned to sell the car in Meerut's scrap market, he further said.
Police traced the car at a house in Deep Nagar here, he said.
A case has been registered against Varun and Harjit, police said.
