Congress MLA’s son, arrested in Rs 400 crore scam, seen roaming outside hospital

Sikandar Singh, son of Haryana Congress MLA Dharam Singh Chhokar, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case, was recently spotted roaming freely outside a hospital in Rohtak.
Sikandar Singh, along with his father, is accused of defrauding over 1,500 home buyers and siphoning Rs 400 crore by booking fake construction expenditures in a real estate firm. He was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in March this year.
After his bail plea was rejected by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, sources told India Today TV that Sikander Singh has been faking illness and manipulating medical records in an attempt to avoid jail time.
He was admitted twice to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) in Rohtak, once from September 2 to 16 and again from September 26 to the present date. Despite his hospitalisations, sources said that he does not suffer from any serious medical condition.
Notably, Sikander Singh’s activities came to light through CCTV footage and medical records, which suggest that he has been leaving the hospital unlawfully despite being in judicial custody. Sources also claimed that after leaving PGIMS, he has been spotted using a Fortuner SUV, staying in hotels, partying, campaigning for upcoming Assembly elections and using his phone — actions that clearly flout legal protocols.
The CCTV footage came a day after Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday directed the ED and Haryana Police to arrest Dharam Singh Chhoker, who is a sitting Congress MLA from Samalkha, if he fails to surrender within 24 hours.
Dharam Singh Chhoker seeking re-election from the Samalkha constituency in the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections, also has several criminal charges registered against him.
Chhoker, a close aide of senior Congress leader and former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, has been evading arrest despite a non-bailable warrant issued against him.
In 2023, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) took control of the investigation against Chhoker and his son following an FIR lodged by the Gurgaon police. The FIR accused them of orchestrating a large-scale real estate fraud through their company, Mihira Group.
The father-son duo had launched a project in Sector 68, Gurugram, aimed at constructing affordable housing. They reportedly collected approximately Rs 363 crore from 1,500 homebuyers. However, despite commitments to complete the project by 2021-22, the company allegedly failed to deliver on its promise
