An NRI couple, presently living in Moga, today alleged that they were being harassed and implicated in a false case at the behest of Punjab minister Avtar Henry and senior police officials of Moga.

Jaswant Brar and his wife Jagshir Brar, alleged in a press conference, that Inderjit Singh, a close relative of Henry, and another Punjab politician had taken a loan of Rs 1.5 lakh from him. After taking the money, they lodged a false complaint of cheating and forgery in order to avoid the payment of the loan against the couple, they alleged.

Jaswant alleged that he had struck a deal to purchase a piece of land from Inderjit Singh, who had taken several loans from various banks and persons. Jaswant alleged that he was denied possession of the land and falsely implicated in a case and put behind bars.

He alleged that he received a threatening call from Henry yesterday around 7:15 pm, asking him to leave the country.
