A shocking case has emerged from the Baradari police station area of Bareilly district in Uttar Pradesh. Nearly a year after a man’s death, his vehicle was shown as still registered in his name in RTO records and then transferred to his younger brother’s name. The role of some RTO employees is also considered suspicious in this entire matter. Following orders from ADG Ramit Sharma, the police have registered a case and started an investigation.
Nandini Verma, a resident of Ananda Park Super City, stated that her husband, Ajay Verma, died on July 14, 2019. Ajay Verma owned a travel agency and several vehicles were registered in his name. After her husband’s death, Nandini was managing the entire business. Due to delays in obtaining the legal heir certificate, the vehicles were still registered in Ajay Verma’s name.
Brother-in-law transferred the car to his name
Nandini was shocked when she checked the vehicle details on the RTO website. She discovered that a car had been transferred to her brother-in-law, Vishal Verma, on September 2, 2020, even though Ajay Verma had been dead for more than a year by then. According to the rules, the vehicle owner must be alive and present at the time of the transfer, but in this case, the deceased was shown as alive in the documents.
Most shockingly, Ajay Verma always signed in English, while the documents related to the transfer showed a thumbprint or signature in Hindi. This clearly indicates that the documents were completely forged.
Fraud exposed through the portal and RTI, questions raised about the police
When Nandini Verma inquired at the RTO office, she was given the runaround. She then obtained the documents through an RTI (Right to Information) request. The information revealed through the RTI exposed the entire fraud. The documents showed that Ajay Verma himself had gone to the RTO office and given his consent for the vehicle transfer, which is completely false.
The victim alleges that she initially filed a complaint at the Cantt police station, but the police took no action. During this time, the accused brother-in-law, Vishal Verma, started pressuring her for a compromise and even threatened to kidnap her children. Frustrated by the police’s inaction, Nandini Verma finally filed a complaint with ADG Ramit Sharma.
Following strict instructions from ADG Ramit Sharma, the Cantt police registered a case against the accused, Vishal Verma, and unknown RTO employees under sections related to forging documents, fraud, and conspiracy. The police are now scrutinizing the list of all employees associated with the RTO file who approved the transfer. This case has also raised serious questions about the functioning of the RTO system and the initial negligence of the police. The investigation is ongoing, and there is now hope that the victim will receive justice.
