The complainant expressed his willingness to purchase the house for Rs. 1, 92, 00,000.

The complainant further paid Rs 40 lakhs through cheque and Rs 5 lakhs in cash to accused persons.
The complainant fell ill and remained admitted for a long period of time, but when he recovered he asked the suspects to execute the sale deed of the house in question but the suspects did not execute the sale deed on one pretext or other.
Further the complainant came to know that the accused persons have transferred the said property to some other persons in order to deprive the complainant from ownership of the said house. Thus, the accused persons in league with one another have cheated the complainant.
On receipt of the complaint a preliminary verification was initiated by Crime Branch Jammu and allegations leveled against the accused have been substantiated, said the spokesman.
