4 booked for attempt to take possession of property illegally

Several persons barged into a property near Lodhi Club with a motive to take its possession illegally. After over three weeks, the Ludhiana police registered a case against the accused in this connection.

Those booked, were identified as Amit Kumar, Vijay Kumar, Dinesh Kumar and Davinder Singh Mangat, all residents of Basant Avenue.

Accused facing multiple FIRs

Charanjit Bajaj said, “Accused Amit Kumar, along with his brother Dinesh Kumar and their father Vijay Kumar, have been attempting to take possession of our property for a long time.” He said, “Earlier, multiple FIRs were registered against Amit. Still he and his family want to take possession of our property illegally. Amit runs a firm — Basant Colonisers and Builders. He is presently in jail in connection with the hiring of a contract killer to commit murder of his former business partner Prem Singh Babbar.”

Complainant Charanjit Singh Bajaj, a resident of Sarabha Nagar, said that on July 3, he had submitted a complaint to the Ludhiana police against the accused for criminal trespass, theft of electric meter and vandalising the property.

Bajaj said on July 2, 2025, around 6 pm, the four accused unlawfully and forcibly trespassed into his property measuring 789 square yards, located adjoining the Lodhi Club road, Ludhiana. The accused, in a criminal conspiracy and active connivance, not only trespassed on the premises, but also illegally removed installed electricity meter from the said property, said Bajaj. Furthermore, they damaged and destroyed existing sheds (tavern) constructed on the site and attempted to illegally merge his land into their adjoining property, Bajaj added.

Multiple FIRs have already been registered against the four accused in the past for similar unlawful acts concerning the same property.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) conducted an investigation into the incident after receiving complaint from Bajaj. After conclusion of the probe, the ADCP recommended registration of case against the four accused.

The accused had severely beaten up security guard Ranjit Singh and drove him away, who then informed about the incident to security in-charge Harbans Singh. The accused had also brought a JCB machine to damage the property. They stole goods lying on the property premises that include sofas, chairs, tables, refrigerator, LED and CCTV cameras, along with DVR, and some other items.
