A Delhi property dealer has been booked for duping the South Korean Embassy off Rs 57 lakh, in the name of selling a property to them. Embassy officials have now lodged an FIR in Greater Kailash police station.
The embassy had contacted Yashwant Singh to take a property on rent in Kailash Colony, to open a Culture Center. He holds the power of attorney of a plot at Kailash Colony A Block, which is owned by US-based NRI Sateesh Kumar Singh.
The officials then signed an agreement in December 2011. Yashwant also signed the possession letter and handed over the keys of the property to embassy.
Yashwant then encashed his cheque, but when the embassy tried to get phone connection installed at the premises, the tenant on the first floor, Ashutosh Verma, objected to it and called police.
The embassy came to know that Yashwant had not only signed a lease agreement with Ashutosh in January 2011 for the first floor for three years, but had also signed another agreement in September 2011 for the entire basement, ground floor and second floor for a period of nine years.
A case of cheating under Section 420 of the IPC has been lodged against Yashwant, who has not been arrested as yet.
