The owner of a juice shop near the Regional Passport Office (RPO), Sector 34, has been arrested for allegedly duping a resident of Ludhiana. Dimple has been booked under Section 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly taking Rs20,000 from Paramjeet Singh by promising a correction in his passport.
Deputy Passport Officer Amit Kumar Rawat became suspicious after Paramjeet Singh, accompanied by his mother and grandfather, submitted his passport on Thursday for rectifying the wrongly spelt name of his village. “I remember the case as he had come in November with the same request. I had then advised them to get an affidavit from his village patwari or tehsildar which specifies the exact spellings of his Barundi village of Raikot tehsil. However, he came on Thursday again with only his passport and no other document,” said Kumar.
Asking the trio to wait, Kumar, deployed the office guard to keep an eye on them. “They sat in a neighbouring juice shop for over two hours and when they came back, I asked his mother about the affidavit. She told us that the juice shop owner had taken Rs 20,000 from them for getting the spellings of his village changed,” he added. “Dimple even assured them that she had spoken to the top officers of the RPO about the ‘correction’.”
Rajiv Kumar, Sector 34 SHO, said the police had arrested the suspect. “Rs 20,000 has been recovered from Dimple. She has been arrested and remanded in judicial custody,” he said.
