In an upsetting and shameful incident, an elderly couple from Nagpur was allegedly deceived by their 39-year-old son who fraudulently sold their home and property. As a result of this dastardly act, the two parents of the man are now forced to live in an old age home, the police said on Sunday.
Abhijit Nipane, the accused even made a woman pose as his mother as he sold two plots in Mouza Gorewada for Rs 60 lakh each. Also, an official said he illegally gained possession of the family’s residence in the Zingabai Takli area.
According to officials, the incident occurred when Meena Nipane (70), a retired health department official, and her husband Muralidhar relocated to their younger son Aniket’s residence in Goa during the COVID-19 pandemic.
They said, taking advantage of their absence, Abhijit colluded with others in the fraudulent sale of their properties.
Upon returning to Nagpur on March 12, 2024, the elderly couple was denied entry into their own home by Abhijit. It was then revealed that not only had he sold their property but had also manipulated legal documents, including a forged Aadhaar card, officials said.
The senior citizen couple lodged a complaint with Mankapur police, leading to the registration of a case against Abhijit and his accomplices under various sections, including fraud, of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
