Ahmedabad: Ex-actress lodges cheating complaint against husband

AHMEDABAD: A former film actress and model Janki Patel, 40, presently running an event management business in Bodakdev, lodged a cheating complaint against her husband and two other persons at Vastrapur police station on Saturday.

Patel, a resident of Aurovilla in Thaltej, has alleged that her husband, Paritosh Patel, and property developers, Dhanesh Jain and his father Bhadarmal Jain, cheated her of Rs 1,51,80,000 by not making property documents of the shop which she had booked in her name. But the documents of the shop were made in the name of her husband Paritosh. The shop is located near Judges Bungalow Road in a complex. Janki in her FIR has alleged that Dhanesh Jain and his father used to work as film distributors and for the last 10 years they are into property development. “According to the FIR, Jains asked Janki to purchase a shop in their complex. Janki then with her husband went and selected a shop of 1,265 square feet worth Rs 1,51,80,000 on the ground floor of the complex. Dhanesh took Rs 1 lakh by cheque from Janki and prepared a sale agreement in her name at a notary’s office,” said a police official.

After that, Janki paid the remaining amount in instalments to Dhanesh Jain and asked him to make property documents in her name. However, he kept delaying the work. “Later, Janki came to know that Dhanesh and her husband both are in financial crisis. Janki’s husband also demanded some money from her, which she denied. This led to quarrel between the two,” said a police source. After some time, Janki herself checked at the registrar’s office in Memnagar that the property documents of the shop she paid for have already been prepared in the name of her husband.

Vastrapur police are probing the matter.
