Seventeen ex-servicemen have been booked for allegedly resorting to fraudulent means to get more than one residential plot alloted under a quota for them.
On the complaint of Estate Officer, Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), Hisar, police today registered a case under Section 420 (cheating) of IPC against the 17 ex-servicemen.
Similar probe was being carried out in other districts as 62 such alleged bogus allotments were first reported at Gurgaon, a police spokesman said.
A retired Lt Col and an ex-Assistant Commandant of CISF were among those against whom cases were registered, he said.
The irregularities were detected from the period from October 5, 2000 to September 14, 2011.
The police is also investigating whether officials of HUDA are also involved in the scam.
