New Delhi: The Delhi police has arrested a woman for being involved in a cheating case reported in 2014 in Baba Haridas Nagar. She changed her address constantly.

A police complaint was filed against her by Ms Saroj Devi wherein she alleged that she had purchased a property for Rs 4.5 lakh from accused Suman (name changed) in Baba Haridas Nagar in 2012. However, the accused duped the complainant and remained in possession of the property. In June 2014, she found another buyer namely Ravinder and sold the same property to him for Rs 8.25 lakh and escaped to an unknown place.

When the complainant came to know that her property had been sold to another person by the accused, she approached the police. A case was then registered and investigation taken up.

“A police team was constituted. The team raided several hideouts of the accused in Delhi and NCR, but the woman changed her address at regular intervals and evaded arrest. Non-bailable warrant was issued by the local court. Finally, a tip-off was received that the accused was residing at her daughter’s house at Tajpur, Delhi. The team conducted a raid and apprehended the woman,” said Shibesh Singh, DCP, Dwarka.
