A resident of Motinagar, Kanpur, Amit Gautam, has lodged a formal complaint against his colleague, alleging fraud involving the arrangement of a house in a government colony. The accused, Satyam Tiwari, a resident of Tiwaripur Jajmau, was previously employed in the same office as the complainant.
Allegations of Deception
According to the complaint, in December 2023, Satyam Tiwari enticed Amit Gautam by claiming he could secure a government colony house in the Sajari area through the Alaknanda Yojana. Satyam allegedly introduced Gautam to his associate, Naushad Ali, who resides in Bakarganj. The duo purportedly collected Rs 45,000 from Gautam and provided forged colony papers as proof.
Subsequently, they demanded another Rs 45,000 in the name of Gautam's brother-in-law, Pramod, and again handed over fake documents under the pretext of facilitating possession. Between May 2024 and March 2025, the accused allegedly took a total of Rs 1.90 lakh from the complainant, but no colony house was ever provided.
Assault and Police Complaint
When Gautam requested the return of his money, he claims he was physically assaulted. Following this, he approached the local police, but no action was taken. He then escalated the matter by submitting a complaint to DCP East Satyajit Gupta.
Station in charge Sanjay Pandey confirmed that a report has been filed and the matter is under investigation. The authorities are now looking into the allegations to determine the veracity of the claims and to take appropriate legal action against the accused.
