A school teacher in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, seeking to resolve domestic disputes through unconventional means, found himself embroiled in a case of fraud that led to the loss of his family properties. The teacher, Chetanram Devda, visited a tantrik, Kalu Khan, hoping for a solution to his troubles but ended up transferring his properties to the Tantrik's name, only to be deceived.
Chetanram's wife, Sushma Devda, 52, has registered a First Information Report (FIR) against four individuals, including the tantrik Kalu Khan and his son Abdul Qadir. The case, which began in 2023, has prompted the police to launch an investigation into the fraudulent activities.
According to the complaint, Chetanram, distressed by ongoing domestic issues, sought the help of Kalu Khan, who practiced black magic. Kalu Khan and his son convinced Chetanram that his properties were the source of his troubles and advised him to sell them. They assured him that the properties would be returned once the issues were resolved.
In July 2023, persuaded by the Tantrik's promises, Chetanram transferred a property of over 4,000 square feet to Kalu Khan's name. However, when his problems persisted, he sought further assistance from Kalu Khan and his son. They then convinced him that returning the property would cause death in his family and persuaded him to transfer another property of over 1,200 square feet to them in November 2023.
Kalu Khan subsequently sold both properties to individuals named Birbal and Ram Kishore for Rs 24.91 lakh, without giving any money to Chetanram. The fraudulent transactions came to light on May 17, 2024, when Birbal and Ram Kishore arrived at Chetanram's house to take possession of the properties. It was then that Sushma Devda discovered the entire fraud and filed a case against the perpetrators.
As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with the case, but the police investigation is ongoing. This incident highlights the vulnerabilities that can arise from seeking unconventional solutions to personal problems and the potential for exploitation by fraudulent individuals.
