Hi,
I am a full time Art of Living teacher since 2002 (www.artofliving. org). I travel to various places to teach meditation and sudarshan kriya to people. I have taught not only to college students but also slum dwellers, prisoners and war-stuck people in Palestine. I am an alumni of IIT Bombay (92-96,H5) and IIM Bangalore (PGSM, 03-05).
A grave fraud usurping the ENTIRE ancestral property of my old and handicapped father (he has about 70% hearing loss) has been played by a land mafia in Muktsar and Bathinda districts of Punjab (some politically connected people hand in glove with govt officials and a property dealer). My father is a simpleton who is a musician and doesnt understand people's cunning plans. The property is worth about 2 crores and also includes our 100 year old house where my old parents live.
I have been running around for justice since 3 months. I have done all I could do. An FIR of 420 has been registered against the accused. Their anticipatory bails have also been rejected at session court but still these people roam free. I have pleaded to the CM, Deputy CM. I have contacted the media, influencial people,human rights, police, courts, but to no avail. Civil courts (being at 4 levels) will take many years to come to any decision. Case is registered with human rights also. govt officials are involved in the fraud and there is no easy way to get them to admit. I am fully OK with all property being used in charity or social work like some free school, orphanage etc but no way am I ok with it being looted away by land mafia. I NEED YOUR SUPPORT in my fight for justice.
Since they have no fear of police, these people had come to our commerical building in bathinda few days ago and had said they will come back again. These people are planning to take forcible and illegal possesion of our property including our house. They roam free inspite of their anticipatory bails being rejected. police is not raiding them. They will spare no time to take possession the day they get anticipatory bails. They have managed a fraud of 2 crores and with free money they are bribing people involved.
These people had taken forcible and illegal possesion of one of our properties in bathinda with the help of about 25 women whom they got from the main culprit's village Baam (in tehsil Malout distt muktsar) on the pretext of political party rally. We managed to get that plot back as one person among them admitted to the fraud. They are very capable of taking forcible possession of the rest of the property.
The main culprit Gurjit Singh is a political party worker. He has 5 FIRs earlier also against him and one against his wife and son too. He has been convicted for attempt to murder at session court earlier, He was sarpanch of his village Baam in last govt of akalis. He looted many people, they got fedup of him and never elected him again. The current sarpanch is also from the same party- an honest person who people voted to power. Gurjit is misusing his old contacts to ensure he is not touched by police. He is managing it by misrepresenting the fraud to the top politicians.
I have met the DGP and he has ensured no illegal possession will be allowed to be taken. But if there is any phone call of a top politician then even police officer at highest level will be helpless I am told.
To get my property back I need direct intervention of Badals ( The CM's family) and this can happen only at the level of high command of BJP ( Advani level ) or someone very close to the Badal family who can tell them that Gurjit singh is misusing their name.
My father was got papers signed fraudently by a few unknown people whom my father took personal loan of 1 lakh from on 1/10/2008. He was made to sit in a car outside the DC court in Muktsar, one of them inside the car held to all the papers which were blank. They said these papers were for security of the loan. My father being a simple person, in good faith signed these papers. These unknown persons were arranged by our long time servant of 10 years who knew everything about our property and had hatched this plan along with these people. He ensured my father to sign without any problem as he was there. Once papers were signed , these people took my father to sub-tehsildar to get a photograph clicked. Three other people stood by my father as a photo was taken. My father was then quickly sent out. At this time, these people had made a registered General Power of Attorney of my father's entire property which we got to know much later on 27/12/08.
Sub-tehisldar is supposed to ask questions and read the whole document out while getting a photo clicked, especially if it is a POA which has selling rights. In this case no questions were asked by the govt official. We got to know from our sources that he had taken a handsome bribe for keeping his mouth shut. They infact made 2 POAs form my father in the same way. A special POA on 22/9/08 while handing over 80000/- and GPA on 1/10/08 while handing over rs 1 lakh. Using these two POAs the gang transfered our entire property to their relatives- wife, sisters, nephews,near friends who all were party in the crime.
These people were Gurjit Singh , Surinder kumar ( a grocer on whose shop Gurjit used to come and had become his friend), Satish Gumber (A property dealer, next door neighbour of Surinder and mastermind of all plan), Balwant singh (our long time servant whom my father used to trust), and Gurjit's relatives.
Surinder kumar admitted that everything was done fradulently. He was the beneficiary of first POA, witness on second POA made on 1/10/08 and had signed on behalf of purchaser on a property sale deed. He gave an affidivit admitting it all. Then person who typed and prepared the POA and the person who purchased the stamp papers also gave an affidivit that the property dealer Satish Gumber had got it typed from him and asked them to purchase the stamp papers as well. though the typist maintains that he had not typed on blank stamps which were signed but rather on unsigned ones. which implies Satish Gumber had hidden these papers between the blank sheets when they got them signed.
Totally 4 fradulent registered documents were made in Muktsar on 4 different days - 2 POAs and 2 sale deeds. They all have the same govt official ( sub-tehsildar) . There are equal chances of the other govt official (tehsildar) also being present for any of the registered documents but thats not the case here. Thats a probability of just 6 in 100 chances. Clearly it is not a concidence.
Two docments were made in bathinda. there also it was the same govt official on both documents. We have got to know that Bathinda tehsildar was also given a handsome bribe. He infact transfered one poperty which jointly belonged to my uncles to the name of Gurjit's wife on the basis of POA.
They got caught in their attempt to transfer our last property in rajasthan where the sub-tehsildar was known to our family members and figured something suspicious, thus informing us on 25/12/08.
I need your support to bring out the truth and get our property back. With all the education behind me I can earn back the loss but I am not going to let it be looted away. I would rather fight with my life than admit defeat. Many of these people who go thru such things dont even have the means and capacity to raise their voice. This justice will be a hope for many such people also. Please spread this to people who can make a difference -- IAS, IPS officers, NGOs, judges, honest politicians, CMs of different states, social workers, advocates, etc.
(FIR # 4, dated 6-Jan-09, Registered at P.S City Muktsar, Punjab.Main accused Gurjit Singh s/o Najar Singh s/o Mal Singh , village Baam, Tehsil Malout, Distt Muktsar)
