NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police have filed an FIR against a businessman for alleged forgery, cheating, and conspiracy related to a fraudulent sale of a prime property located in South Extension, valued between Rs 150-200 crore, according to an official statement on Tuesday.
As per the FIR lodged on January 22, the complainant, Dhruv Jalan, a businessman and resident of Gurugram, claims the property in question—a plot exceeding 2,292 square yards in South Extension Part-I—was originally allotted to his grandfather, Amar Chand Jalan, in 1958.
Jalan asserts that he became the sole owner of the property through a will in his favor dated 1997, followed by a relinquishment deed signed by other legal heirs in 2008.
“The complainant contends that despite having uninterrupted ownership and possession since 2008, the accused forged a sale deed dated January 30, 2025, which claims to transfer the property for just Rs 41 crore—a price he argues is significantly undervalued,” a senior police officer stated.
Jalan alleges that this sale deed relies on purportedly falsified documents, including an agreement to sell and a general power of attorney dated December 7, 2018, allegedly signed by his father and a family-owned company.
He insists that neither of these documents was ever executed and claims the sale deed is a result of criminal conspiracy.
“Furthermore, the complaint highlights that the deed was registered illegally at the Mehrauli sub-registrar office, despite the property falling outside its jurisdiction,” the officer added.
Jalan also claims that the accused are known for engaging in similar property frauds, suggesting that the disputed sale deed could facilitate obtaining significant bank loans through property mortgage.
