A major property scam in Dwarka was unraveled this week, leading to the arrest of Sarabjeet Singh, his mother (a 70-year-old woman), and Pawandeep Singh, a property dealer. The group allegedly forged documents to sell a flat worth Rs 1.85 crore after the rightful owner’s death.
The fraud was exposed when the deceased owner’s brother-in-law discovered the sale of the property. With no heirs left behind by the owner and his sister, the property became vulnerable to exploitation. Sarabjeet Singh, the woman’s son, was arrested in October. During questioning, Sarabjeet revealed that Pawandeep Singh, a former murder convict, was the mastermind behind the scam.
Pawandeep Singh, who was serving a previous sentence, reportedly masterminded the forgery from prison. He is said to have used his network to create the fake documents that allowed the sale of the Dwarka flat. Sarabjeet’s arrest led to the search for Pawandeep, who was located in Himachal Pradesh and taken into custody.
The police continue to investigate the scam to uncover additional individuals involved in the operation and to prevent similar fraudulent activity. The case highlights the risks of property fraud and the importance of safeguarding unclaimed assets.
