A Delhi businessman Sushil Kumar has alleged that he was tricked into investing in the Garam Dharam Dhaba granchise and cheated. Thus, the Judicial Magistrate Yashdeep Chahal from the
Patiala House Court
in Delhi has issued summons for Dharmendra and two others who are linked in the case.
According to ANI, the court has ordered, "Let the accused persons at serial number 1 (Dharam Singh Deol), 2 and 3 be summoned for the commission of offences under section 420, 120B read with section 34 IPC. Let the accused persons at serial no. 2 and 3 be also summoned for the offence of criminal intimidation under section 506 of IPC.
A hearing in this matter has been scheduled for February 20, 2025. During the summoning stage, only a prima facie case needs to be established, and a detailed review of the case’s merits is not required yet. These documents linked to the case, including a letter with its logon, suggest that the transaction was done involving the restaurant and it was done by co-accused individuals on behalf of Dharmendra.
Sushil Kumar who has filed this complained alleged that in April 2018, this co-accused person approached him on behalf of Dharmendra to invest in the
Garam Dharam Dhaba franchise
in Uttar Pradesh. Kumar was promised 7 percent profit on Rs 41 lakh investment. Sushil was thus lured into it after he saw the success of it in other branches. . A letter of intent was signed in September 2018 for Rs 63 lakh, but despite payment of Rs 17.70 lakh and purchasing land in Amroha, UP, the respondents failed to follow through. Thus, Sushil is seeking repayment from this franchise.
On work front, Dharmendra was last seen in 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani'.
