A Faridabad court in Haryana has issued an arrest warrant against an alleged fraudster, Ajju Sindolli, who is presently holed up in Goa, for failing to deposit 20 per cent of the compensation amount (Rs 7.5 lakh) slapped on him in a sentence by a lower court.
The Sessions Court in Faridabad, which is hearing Sindolli’s case on appeal, has also cancelled his bail and has directed the SHO of the police station concerned to depute a special official to execute the warrant of arrest.
Sindolli had approached the Sessions Court after the Judicial Magistrate First Class in Faridabad had convicted him under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act in March 2019 and sentenced him to one year imprisonment and simultaneously to pay compensation of Rs 37.50 lakh to JSC Ispat Pvt Ltd, a complainant in the case.
In May 2019, the Sessions Court granted him bail but with a condition that he shall deposit 20 percent of the compensation amount (7.5 lakh) within a period of 60 days in the form of bank draft.
What followed after that was a saga of court adjournments. The alleged accused failed to be present even once in the court and further failed to deposit the desired compensation amount.
Incidentally, Sindolli has allegedly duped several Goans and was arrested in a joint operation by Goa and Hubli Police last year for his alleged involvement in scams involving crores of rupees through his Ajju group of companies.
There are at least five cases filed against him at the Economic Offences Cell (EOC) of Goa Police and the EOC has chargesheeted him in three offences so far.
Sindolli allegedly duped three persons in Tivim, including a mother and daughter, an NRI from Nerul and one person from Porvorim. The total amount duped is over Rs 1 crore.
According to sources, Sindolli doesn’t have a permanent address in Goa and frequently changes his place of residence.
