However, Prakash could not show the asset physically when Krishna insisted on seeing the land after paying the money. He then threatened Krishna for repeatedly asking about the asset. Krishna realised that he was cheated and approached the police, who in turn registered a case and took up the investigation.

The police cautioned the public not to trust fraudulent brokers and to cross-check land records before purchasing an asset.
