In a new case, Mandeep Singh, a resident of Baba Deep Singh Nagar, has lodged a complaint, wherein he stated that Ranbir Singh had formed a company Sujas Captial and Bala Ji Akasha Limited in 2015, and had duped his relatives and friends of Rs 49 lakh.

A case under Section 420 of the IPC has been registered against the accused. However, no arrest has been made.
