A dentist accused of cheating multiple people of more than Rs 1 crore through fraudulent property deals in northeast Delhi has been arrested after remaining absconding for seven months, police said on Thursday.
The accused, identified as Majahar Khan (44), a resident of Yamuna Vihar, allegedly used his reputation as a dental practitioner to gain the trust of victims before duping them in a series of property fraud cases, police in a statement said.
According to the police, Khan, popularly known as “Dr Sahab” in the locality, is a qualified BDS and MDS graduate who initially practised dentistry in the Khureji area before shifting to property dealings in Yamuna Vihar, it read.
Police said Khan sold a Yamuna Vihar property to different people despite it being mortgaged with a private bank.
“He concealed material facts regarding the ownership and mortgage status of the property and induced several people into financial transactions,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Pankaj Kumar said in the statement.
The accused was declared a proclaimed offender and was wanted in multiple cheating and fraud cases.
A team tracked Khan through technical surveillance, following which he was apprehended from Ganeshpur Toll Plaza in Uttar Pradesh, police said, adding that an SUV was also seized from his possession.
Police said at least eight FIRs and two non-cognisable reports related to criminal intimidation are linked to the accused. Further investigation is underway.
