London. An Indian-origin man in the UK has been jailed for three years for defrauding people of around £16,000 by pretending to help people buy property. According to Scotland Yard, Jaspal Singh Jutla (64) confessed to his crime and most of his victims were of Indian origin. London’s Isleworth Crown Court sentenced Juttala to the offense of fraud on Thursday.
The Metropolitan Police said in a statement that the offenses took place between May 2019 and January 2021 and that Juttala had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court in August last year. According to the statement, Jutla duped four people of £15,970 by posing as a home loan advisor. Detective Constable Anita Sharma, a financial investigator in the Metropolitan Police’s Central Specialist Crime Unit, said Juttala defrauded members of his own community in order to obtain funds to finance a lavish lifestyle.
He said that only a few victims of Jutla have come forward but there could be many people who have been cheated by Jutla but they have not approached the police. Posing as a home loan consultant, Jutla would meet people and dupe them on the pretext of helping them buy properties.
