Court orders probe in cheating case involving Lokayukta's son

A local court has directed the police to register a case on the basis of a complaint of cheating against employees and representatives of a real estate firm, which include the son of Madhya Pradesh Lokayukta.
Complainant Abhijeet Tripathi told reporters that Judicial Magistrate R K Rawatkar directed the Aerodrome Police Station to register a case against the firm Emmar MGF Land Ltd and its employees under sections 420 (cheating) and 406 (criminal breach of trust) of the Indian Penal Code.
The magistrate directed the police to finish the probe and file the final report by October 28.
Tripathi said he had filed the complaint against the company and its representatives including Shrawan Gupta, Mehar Singh, Abhay Mishra, Ajay Nambiar and Siddharth Naolekar. Siddharth is the son of Madhya Pradesh state Lokayukta P P Naolekar.

According to Tripathi, he purchased a plot at Indore Greens township and paid Rs 38,84,691 to the company. But, later he learnt through RTI that the firm had kept the plot as a collateral with the government, and could not have sold it off.
Tripathi then sought his money back, but in vain. After the Aerodrome Police did not conduct any probe on his complaint, he approached the court.
Meanwhile, when asked for a comment, the company spokesperson said "We have not received any such court order so far and we shall only be able to comment on the same once we get the order, if any".
