Man Posing As IT DC Detained From Bengaluru

The police officials have detained a person for posing as the DC of the IT section department from Bengaluru on May 11.

The charged, Subramanyam, has been accused of troubling and blackmailing the builder of a housing project after posing as DC of the I-T division in support with Krishan Grover of Rajpura.

Trishla Buildtech MD Harish Gupta stated that an apartment was bought by one Rajni Batta, wife of Sudhir Batta, from him, who further sold it to Krishan Grover.

Krishan is a CA by profession, who after buying the apartment in Trishla City project, near Nabha Sahib in Zirakpur on the Patiala highway, failed to submit the transfer charge of Rs. 1.5 lakh.

He, in its place, attempted to force the manager, Himmat Singh, to transfer the apartment without charging any charge. The manager alleged that he received repeated threats from Subramanyam, posing as DC of the IT section from Mumbai over calls, electronic mails and SMSs.

They then accompanied up inquiries and were stunned to make out that there was no such officer in Mumbai.

When they asked Subramanyam to call from a landline, they came to know that the call came from Bengaluru. Trishla Group inquired again, but found no officer by this name. It then sought assistance from SAS Nagar SSP, who in its place asked the SHO in Zirakpur to inquire into the incident and do the needful.

After conducting the inquiry, he sent a police group to Bengaluru to discover the reality, where the IT section disclosed that no such officer was functioning with them.

A group was again forwarded to detain Subramanyam from Bengaluru.

SHO Trilochan stated that the charged has confessed to his offense and said that he did the same owing to Grover, as he was a employee under one of Grover’s close pal.

On the complaint of project manager Himmat Singh the Zirakpur police have lodged an FIR against Krishan Grover of Rajpura and Subramanyam under Sections 419, 420 and 170 of the IPC.
