Veteran actor Dharmendra has been summoned by a Delhi court in connection with a cheating case.
The case reportedly pertains to his franchise, Garam Dharam Dhaba. A Delhi-based businessman, Sushil Kumar, filed a complaint against the actor and two others, alleging that he was misled into investing in the franchise under false pretenses.
According to reports, the magistrate judge noted that the evidence on record “prima facie indicates that the accused persons induced the complainant in furtherance of their common intent, and the ingredients of the offence of cheating are duly disclosed.”
The court order further stated, “Accordingly, 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 number 2 and 3 be also summoned for the offence of criminal intimidation under Section 506 of IPC.”
