Two more cases recommende­d against conman out on bail

MANSA:The Mansa police on Saturday recommende­d two more cases of fraud against Satish Kumar, who was arrested in 2015 for duping people on the promise of jobs in the police department.

The recommenda­tion came after preliminar­y probe by a deputy superinten­dent of police (DSP) on two complaints.

When the conman, who used to pose as an officer on special duty (OSD) of various politician­s, was arrested two years ago, a separate case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotrop­ic Substances Act was also registered against him on recovery of 1,200 banned tablets.

He allegedly also duped a number of people by issuing fake allotment letters of Punjab Urban Developmen­t Authority plots.

Satish was lodged in the district jail for six months when he filed a writ petition in the high court, accusing cops of implicatin­g him in false cases.

After getting bail in December 2015, he again targeted candidates for police recruitmen­t last year, including duping a head constable in Mansa with the promise of a job for his son, said sources.

“We have received around a dozen complaints against Satish, but he has been deliberate­ly missing court proceeding­s,” said station house officer (SHO) Harpal Singh.

He said the accused will be nabbed soon.
