3. Broadly speaking, prosecution case is as follows. The complainant de facto Smt. Anjali Jain lodged a complaint alleging that she came to know from a local property dealer that someone had forged title documents of her immovable property and was trying to sell away the same. The complainant de facto further alleged that she saw the alleged title document, which is a registered sale deed on the official website of Delhi Government. According to the complainant de facto, the said sale deed dated 21.10.2022 falsely portrayed her as the vendor, and someone had impersonated in her name and fabricated the sale deed with false identity documents and PAN details. Further, it was revealed during investigation, that on the basis of the said allegedly forged sale deed, someone had availed housing loan from LIC Housing Finance Ltd. Thus, according to prosecution, the victims of the alleged fraud and forgery were the complainant de facto and the LIC Housing Finance Ltd. During investigation, from loan records of LIC Housing Finance Ltd., it was found that one Hemlata Chaudhary had applied for loan on the basis of those allegedly forged title documents and a loan of Rs. 90,00,000/- was sanctioned and credited into her account. The investigation found that accused Vishnu Babu was the verifier of Hemlata Chaudhary and he was arrested. The accused Vishnu Babu in his disclosure statement alleged that the present accused/applicant (Nitin) and three more D Si i g gi n ta a l t l u y r S e i g N n o ed t Verified G KA IR T I H SH P ALIA DD29Cps9cD e n .a 6 oO iN a 5 r g f =b s t i .
