Amritsar, September 12

Kamaljit Singh, a resident of Mandi Gobindgarh, Fatehgarh Sahib, on Saturday accused a city woman and her husband of cheating and blackmailing him.

Kamaljit said following his complaint and investigation carried out by the local police, the woman was booked by the police on charges of fraud and criminal breach of trust in March this year. Kamaljit said the suspected woman was now lodging false police complaints against him so that he reached a compromise with her.

Kamaljit has now shot a letter to higher police officials, including the DGP (Punjab), seeking justice by registering another case of blackmailing against her. He said the accused was demanding Rs 2 lakh from him for taking back the complaint.

Giving details, he said the woman, who used to run a job placement agency, and her accomplices had cheated her of Rs 1.3 lakh on the pretext of getting him recruited in a government department. However, the woman provided him a job in a private firm. He said perturbed over this, he submitted a complaint to the Amritsar police in this connection which registered a case against her under Sections 420 and 406 of the IPC. Kamaljit said later she lodged a complaint against him for stealing Rs2 lakh and making an objectionable video of her which he claimed was not true. He urged the police authorities to hold a high-level probe and provide him justice, besides exposing the racket allegedly run by her for cheating vulnerable youths on the pretext of providing jobs.
