Ludhiana Real Estate Group Faces Legal Battles: Chairman and Sons Booked in Two Fraud Cases
Ludhiana: In a significant legal development, police in Ludhiana have registered two separate cases of alleged property fraud against the family members of a prominent private real estate group based in Sangowal village, known as the GK Group. The chairman of the group, Gulshan Kumar, and three of his sons have been named as accused in the FIRs. The GK Group is reportedly a well-known entity in the city's real estate sector, and investigations are currently underway in both cases, although no arrests have been made as of yet.
The first case was registered against three individuals: Group Chairman Gulshan Kumar and his sons, Rohit Kumar and Sunny Kumar. Complainant Tarvinder Singh, a resident of Lohara, alleged that Gulshan Kumar, Rohit, and Sunny conspired to build a petrol pump adjacent to his two shops. They then allegedly attempted to encroach upon his land by extending the petrol pump's tiled area onto his property. The police launched an investigation after receiving the complaint and subsequently issued orders to register a case against the three accused.
The second case involves a separate property transaction and names another son of the chairman: Sahil Kumar of Aggar Nagar Extension, along with another person, Harjit Singh of Dhandra Road. Complainant Gurcharan Kaur, a resident of Gobindgarh, alleged that the accused entered a contract to sell her a plot of land measuring 7 kanals, 10 and a half marlas (4,252 square yards) in Sangowal village. She claims that the accused subsequently sold the contracted land to other persons, thereby cheating her. After a thorough investigation, the Sadar police station registered an FIR against Sahil Kumar and Harjit Singh under sections related to fraud, criminal conspiracy, and the Registration Act.
The registration of these two separate FIRs against the chairman and his sons highlights the mounting legal challenges facing the prominent real estate group. The GK Group, known for its significant presence in the local real estate market, now faces scrutiny and potential legal repercussions that could impact its operations and reputation. The police are continuing their investigations to gather more evidence and ensure that justice is served for the complainants.
The legal battles could have far-reaching implications for the GK Group, affecting not only its current projects but also its future ventures. The real estate sector in Ludhiana is closely watching the developments, as this case could set a precedent for how such allegations are handled and the measures taken to protect property rights and prevent fraudulent practices.
