PRIEST OF CP TEMPLE BOOKED FOR FRAUD
A priest in a popular temple in Connaught Place has been been booked for fraud at in Parliament Street police station. The accused allegedly cheated several people of Delhi and Gurgaon by posing as owner of a land, on the basis of fake papers, which he had actually taken on rent.
‘The accused has been identified as Anil Mohan Bharadwaj, 40. His victims include Rajya Sabha employees and a relative of a Delhi police inspector. Five cheating cases have been lodged against him in different police stations of Delhi and Gurgaon,’ sources said.
His latest victim, S K Mishra, an employee in Rajya Sabha, has lodged a complaint at Parliament Street police station against Bharadwaj. According to him, Bhardwaj took around Rs 18 lakh on the pretext of selling a plot to him, of which he claimed to be the owner.
When the victim went to take possession of the land with papers provided by Bharadwaj, he found the land has already been sold to some other person.
Since Bharadwaj was a priest in a temple at Connaught Place, he used to target customers from there, said a police officer.
‘He was arrested in May, last year. But he got a conditional bail. The cheques he submitted to the court after bail, however, bounced,’ said the official.
A case of cheating using the same modus operandi was registered in Connaught Place and Paharganj police stations in Delhi and Shushant Lok police station in Gurgaon, Haryana. One more cheating case has reported from Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, in which he took around Rs 90 lakh from an unsuspecting victim, said the official.
A few months ago, he took around Rs 10 lakh from the daughter of a Delhi police inspector.
Bhardwaj also used to change his accommodation from place to place quite often.
A few months ago, when a sub-inspector went to enquire about Bharadwaj, his wife Sadhana and children locked him in their house and allegedly beat him up. Receiving information about incident, senior officers of central district reached the spot and rescued him. All were later booked for attacking the police, said the police.
