Rawalpindi Police have registered a fraud case against two men after a citizen alleged he was cheated out of Rs. 20 million in a fake property deal backed by forged Capital Development Authority (CDA) documents.
According to the FIR lodged at Cantt Police Station under Section 420 of the Pakistan Penal Code, complainant Jamshed, a resident of Saddar, stated that property dealer Syed Ghufran Shah introduced him to Jameel Akhtar nearly two years ago for a real estate investment.
The complainant alleged that Jameel Akhtar claimed to be involved in property transactions in CDA sectors and offered to sell Plot No. 340, measuring 30×60 feet, in Model Town Humak for Rs. 7.5 million. He said he later paid Rs. 20 million as advance money through Ghufran Shah after being assured the plot would be transferred within six months.
Jamshed told police that he was handed a possession letter, but later discovered the document was forged. He further alleged that both suspects stopped responding to his calls and failed to transfer the property despite repeated follow-ups.
The FIR was registered on the orders of a court, and police have launched an investigation into the allegations. The complainant has sought recovery of his money and claimed the suspects were using fake CDA allotment and possession documents to deceive other buyers as well.
The allegations have been recorded in the FIR, and the claims will be subject to investigation by the police.
