Two separate property fraud cases have been reported in Punjab. In Mohali, four family members are accused of duping a 79-year-old widow and her relatives of over ₹29 crore through fraudulent land deals and forged documents. In Zirakpur, three tenants allegedly forged signatures to mortgage a landowner's plot and obtain a bank loan without consent, discovered after a loan default notice. Police have registered cases in both incidents, which involve forgery, cheating, and criminal conspiracy allegations.
