Papers forged for flat sale, 4 booked
Mohali, July 27 -- An FIR has been registered against four persons for allegedly forging documents to sell a company-owned flat in Bhabat, Zirakpur police said on Sunday. According to the complaint filed by Raffi Mohamed, the authorised signatory of the construction company, the firm owns a flat on the first floor of Highland Park (Terraces) in Bhabat, Zirakpur. The company had engaged Bhupinder Singh as a local liaisoner for an irrigation project in Punjab and alleged that he had no authority to sell or transfer its property.
Police said Bhupinder Singh, along with Amandeep Singh, Jaskaran Kumar and advocate Khushpal Singh, allegedly forged an authority letter dated May 12, 2025, by using the signatures of the company's directors. Using the document, Bhupinder Singh allegedly executed a registered sale deed on May 21, 2025, transferring the flat to Amandeep Singh.
The complainant alleged that the company did not receive any payment from the transaction and learnt about the sale after the residents' welfare association updated its records and the MyGate application showed Amandeep Singh as the owner.
According to the FIR, the questioned signatures on the authority letter were examined by the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), Phase IV, Mohali. The laboratory reported that the signatures of company directors on the authority letter were forged.
