Gurugram, February 8

Five persons, including a Delhi cop, have been booked for allegedly abetting suicide of a property dealer, a resident of Nathupur.

The deceased was allegedly being pressured by five accused to sell off his land in Dehradun. An FIR has been registered against the five at DLF phase-3 police station.

The deceased has been identified as Jogender Yadav alias Jugnu (44) who lived with family in DLF phase-3.

According to a complaint filed by Manju Yadav, wife of Jogender, he was working with his uncle Mahender Singh at Jyoti Properties. It was in 2015 that her husband got into a partnership with Manoj and Jagvir Singh. They had purchased land in Dehradun through Prem Negi and Suresh Negi and planned to build villas.

“Chakkarpur resident Vinod Nambardar also took some land nearby our land in Dehradun. Jagvir and Manoj were known to Vinod Nambardar. They allegedly conspired and sold a part of this land to Delhi police constable Vikram Dabas without my husband’s knowledge and did not give him money. When he opposed they allegedly used contacts of Dabas and filed a complaint against him. He was arrested by police two years ago. This shattered Jogender. He was depressed, was being pressured and also got many threat calls. They would come home and threaten him repeatedly to sell off land,” complained the deceased’s wife.

She alleged that it was a threat call by Dabas on January 27 that forced her husband to take extreme step. His body was found hanging from a ceiling fan.

Following the complaint an FIR has been registered against the five under Sections 306 (abetment to suicide), 34 (common intention) of IPC at DLF phase-3 police station.

“We have lodged an FIR and are verifying the facts. Action will be taken as per the law,” said sub inspector Ram Niwas, the investigating officer.
