The Shahalibanda police registered a case of cheating and criminal intimidation against a person, following a complaint by a resident, who alleged financial fraud and threats linked to a failed business arrangement.

The complaint was lodged on Sunday by the victim, who said that he did not approach the police earlier as he was intimidated by the accused.

As per the police, Ayub Khan, a rowdy-sheeter, lured the victim into a business partnership in 2024, and asked him to invest ₹4.70 lakh. Later, the accused misappropriated the profits and took gold ornaments weighing about six tolas from the complainant on the pretext of clearing debts. The ornaments were allegedly mortgaged and not returned.

When the complainant sought settlement of his dues, Ayub allegedly threatened him with serious consequences, police said.
