Gurgaon: A city court rejected the bail plea of a drug peddler after discovering that the accused submitted forged surety bond documents. The court has ordered the registration of a fresh case against Deepak Kumar for cheating and forgery.
According to court procedures, bail applicants must submit genuine guarantor details along with property or vehicle documents as surety. However, upon verification, the documents provided by Kumar were found to be fabricated. Taking note of the attempted deception, the court directed authorities to file additional charges against the accused for attempting to mislead the judiciary.
According to police, the accused was arrested in 2024 in an NDPS case. Upon completion of the investigation, police filed a chargesheet before the court at the end of 2024. Following this, the accused moved a bail application on the ground that the investigation was completed and he should be given bail.
Along with the bail application, an affidavit was also submitted by him, stating that the surety was arranged by his counsel and all the documents were furnished before the court by him. During verification, the documents were found to be forged.
Suraj Kumar recorded his statement, saying that he never furnished surety bonds for the accused and that the Aadhar Card on record was not genuine. "The SHO shall conduct the investigations either himself or through a subordinate officer and shall furnish the final report before the court," said Jyoti Grover, judicial magistrate first class, in its order on Feb 25.
A case was registered at Shivaji Nagar police station on Thursday against the accused under sections 419 (cheating by personation), 420 (cheating), 467 (forgery), 471 (using a forged document), and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC.
