Man duped of Rs 93 lakh by relatives, three booked

Saranjit Kaur (49), her daughter Jasjit Kaur (22) and the latter's boyfriend Arjun Singh Sindhuria (25) were booked yesterday for fraudulently taking the money from 58-year-old transporter Jasmit Singh Sabharwal after he lodged a complaint against them, police said.

The trio had been cheating Sabharwal for over a year on the pretext of finding a suitable match for his daughter, police said.

Incidentally, Saranjit and Jasjit are relatives of Sabharwal.

During the course of the events, Arjun, hailing from Tamil Nadu, posed as a priest, they said.

An offence under section 420 (fraud) of IPC was registered after a preliminary inquiry, police said adding that no one had been arrested so far in the case.
