NEW DELHI: The alleged bungling in the DDA scheme slipped further into trouble when an allottee of a flat was found dead under mysterious circumstances in Rajasthan on Friday evening, according to reports.
The deceased, Hari Singh Koli, a tailor by profession, was one of the three successful allottees from Bayana.
Hari was reportedly allotted a flat under ST quota in the controversial DDA housing scheme without even applying for it.
"He had gone for a drink at a vacant house near his residence around 6 pm on Friday and his wife found him unconscious about an hour-and-a-half later," a Bayana police official said.
"He was declared dead on arrival at the local hospital."
The autopsy would be conducted on Saturday.
A police official said, "We are investigating the case but prima facie it appears an accidental death due to heavy drinking, he probably fell down the stairs."
The economic offences wing (EOW) of Delhi Police on Friday arrested a man from Jhunjhunu, who is believed to have filled more than 300 application forms in the names of locals after obtaining their documents.
A case has been registered under various sections of cheating, forgery, criminal conspiracy and common intention.
The accused, identified as Laxmi Narayan Meena (54), was arrested from Jhunjhunu and brought to Delhi after the EOW probe showed that he allegedly facilitated filling of application forms in connivance with others. “Laxmi had approached several persons of ST category in remote areas of Jhunjhunu and collected their details for applying in the DDA housing scheme. He also took their PAN cards, caste certificates and other documents although he did not ask them for money,’’ said a senior police officer.
Investigators believe Laxmi Narayan was contacted by those involved in the fraud in Delhi to act as a pointperson in Jhunjhunu to lure fake applicants from among STs. ACP (EOW) SBK Singh confirmed the first arrest in the case.
