The transaction was facilitated by the complainant's brother-in-law Ram Kumar and sister Nagina, who also introduced him to the accused. On 01.08.

2022, when the complainant attempted to raise construction on the plot, he was restrained by one Rajesh Kumar S/o Bhai Lal, who claimed ownership of the said property based on documents allegedly executed in his favour in 2015, predating the complainant's transaction. It is alleged that the documents executed in favour of the complainant were forged or fabricated, and the signature of a third party, Sahna W/o Abdul Savur, was fraudulently used. The complainant further alleges that the papers were arranged by Ram Kumar from one Sachin Dabas, Advocate, and that the accused refused to refund the amount when approached and instead extended threats and as a result of the same, the present FIR was registered.
