Property Scam: Doctor, fiance loses Rs 4.3 lakh in Surat
Surat: In another case of fraud, a female doctor and her fiance allegedly lost Rs 4.3 lakh under false promises of getting an apartment in a housing scheme following which they filed a complaint at the Vesu police station.
According to the complaint, the accused runs a cafe and promised the doctor to get her two apartments without any brokerage. However, after paying the money, the doctor did not get the house.
The scam started when the accused went to the doctor's clinic in the Green Signature complex in Vesu. The accused used to accompany his wife to her clinic for regular check-ups.

During one visit, he mentioned to the doctor about being able to secure two apartments in SMS's housing scheme located behind RahulRaj Mall. He assured the doctor that he would not charge any brokerage fees.
Following this, the doctor discussed the offer with her fiance who also owns a broking business in Mahidharpura. Hearing about the offer, the fiance summoned the accused to his office in Mahidharpura.
After agreeing to purchase a house, the doctor's finance gave the money in two instalments. At first, he handed over Rs 3.7 lakh in cash to the accused on October 11, 2023. Subsequently, on October 20, he transferred Rs 60,000 to the accused via GooglePay.
Following the transactions, the accused assured them they would receive the houses within 15 days. However, after a month had passed, the duo inquired about the progress of the house acquisition from the accused. Instead of providing a satisfactory response, the accused resorted to verbal abuse and made excuses.
Consequently, both parties demanded the return of their money from him. When he failed to comply, they decided to seek assistance from the Vesu police.
As per the TOI news report, they filed a complaint at the police station and later an FIR was registered under Sections 406 (Punishment for criminal breach of trust), 420 (Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) and 294(b) (Act to have effect pending legislative provision for charge of tax) of Indian Penal Code (IPC).
