New Delhi, Feb 6 (IANS) An FIR was registered against real estate baron Sushil Ansal and some erring officials for concealing facts in his passport, the city police told the Delhi High Court on Wednesday.
The FIR was lodged on January 17 against Ansal and three police officials over charges of cheating and under the provisions of Passport Act.
The police told Justice Najmi Waziri that they are investigating the matter how Ansal got "clear" certificate in passport verification report despite 163 general complaints pending against him.
