Gurugram Police have arrested Delhi residents Bhanu Priya Narang (33) and her husband Dhruv Sharma (35) for allegedly selling a flat in Sushant Lok Phase-2 for ₹1.10 crore using forged documents, police said on Wednesday. The complainant paid the entire amount in instalments after the accused showed fake bank statements, foreclosure screenshots, and a forged no-objection certificate (NOC) to convince him that the ₹35.70 lakh outstanding loan had been cleared. The sale deed was executed on January 23, 2025, in the buyer's name. Months later, verification with the bank revealed that the loan was still unpaid and the documents were fake. The complaint was filed on April 4 at Sector 56 police station. Police arrested the couple on Tuesday and said investigation is underway to verify all evidence.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both source versions are from Hindustan Times and report the same facts in a neutral, crime-report style. The framing is identical: a couple allegedly sold a mortgaged Gurugram flat for ₹1.10 crore using forged bank documents, with an unpaid loan of ₹35.70 lakh. The coverage leads with the arrest and the fraud amount, avoiding any moral judgment. Neither source examines systemic gaps in property verification or banking oversight that allowed the alleged fraud to go undetected until months after the sale. A careful reader should watch for whether the victim recovers the sale amount, which could determine if this is a civil recovery matter or a criminal conviction.
