Four persons have been arrested for allegedly duping a businessman by selling him properties mortgaged with bank.

According to the police, Deepak Goel (33), Sushil Satti (33), Hemant Kumar (43) and Dharmender Yadav (34) were arrested and 100 fake stamps used for making forged property documents have been recovered from them.

Deepak Goel, who is a resident of Jind, Haryana is a property dealer having his office in Sector-8, Rohini, in the name of Balaji Estates. He had allegedly prepared forged documents of properties which actually are owned by him but mortgaged with banks.

The other three persons are his associates, the police said.
 

According to a complaint filed by one Baldev Raj Sapra, who runs a pressure cooker manufacturing factory, one Dharmender Yadav who was familiar with the complainant introduced him to Goel.

Later, Yadav and Goel started visiting his factory frequently and advised him to invest money in property.

Between October 2011 and February 2012, Yadav and Goel allegedly made the complainant buy several properties worth several crore. However, when the complainant went to the office of Sub-Registrar none of the Sale Deeds were found registered with SR-VI office.

Sapra filed a complaint with Uttam Nagar police station after which Sushil Satti, Yadav and Goel were arrested on Thursday while Hemant Kumar was arrested yesterday.

"Deepak Goel used to open accounts in different banks by different names. He also disclosed that the properties he purportedly sold through forged documents were already mortgaged with two banks. He allegedly made crores of rupees through this deal and invested in properties located in Jaipur, Rajasthan," said Additional Commissioner of Police V Renganathan.

"More arrests are likely in this case," he said.
