Hisar: The police have booked three people for allegedly cheating a chartered accountant of Rs 5.3 crore in a property deal involving two houses in Sector 14, with the complainant also questioning the role of the accused’s father, a serving tehsildar in Faridabad.Following an economic offences wing inquiry, Hisar City police registered a case against Azad Singh, his brother Ajit Singh and Ajit’s wife Jyoti under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Their father, Vijay Singh, has been named in the complaint, but not as an accused.The complainant, chartered accountant Himanshu Mittal, alleged that the accused had agreed to sell two houses in Sector 14 for Rs 5.35 crore. A sale agreement was executed on June 3, 2025, after which Mittal transferred the amount through bank accounts and was handed possession, original documents and keys. Permission for transfer was subsequently obtained from HSVP, he claimed.Mittal alleged that the accused later delayed execution of the sale deeds. During court proceedings, he learnt that Azad, Ajit and Jyoti had allegedly entered into agreements for the same properties with Anil Kumar and Surender Kumar on Sept 10 and 12, 2024.He alleged that these agreements were concealed before the June 3, 2025, deal and that the accused nevertheless accepted Rs 5.35 crore from him.The EOW inquiry report dated Aug 7, 2026, found prima facie evidence of cheating against Azad, Ajit and Jyoti for allegedly entering into the 2025 agreement and accepting the money despite the earlier agreements. It did not find a cognisable offence against Vijay Singh at this stage.Mittal has sought action against all those allegedly involved, besides freezing the accused’s bank accounts and attachment of a Sector 14 property allegedly bought with the disputed funds. Vijay Singh did not respond to calls seeking comment.
