It was further alleged that Pawan has sold this property to multiple persons, police said.

During investigation, it was revealed that Pawan executed the sale deed of the entire property in favour of his wife Rajni in two parts. In 2012, he availed two loans of Rs 1 crore and Rs 50 lakh from a bank after mortgaging the property, Special Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Singh Yadav said.

Pawan did not pay the loan amount and both the loan accounts were declared NPA by the bank, he said.

Gambhir came in contact with Pawan during business deals and became friends. Both were having financial crunch and hatched a conspiracy to get loan sanctioned from another bank on the same property, police said. Gambhir got executed two sale deeds in the name of his wife, Renuka, on June 15, 2018 through Pawan, husband of the owner of the property, in which the amount was shown Rs 3.30 crore and Rs 70 lakh respectively, but actually no transaction took place, Singh said.

Thereafter he availed loan of Rs 2.77 crore after mortgaging the said property through his wife Renuka, police said.
