From the ABC. India’s intelligence department is investigating reports that a fraudster sold an American businessman the Prime Minister’s residence in the heart of New Delhi recently, a leading daily reported on Sunday.
The businessman forked out 35 million rupees ($A1.02 million) for the house that was up for sale on a website as a “huge sprawling mansion in the heart of Lutyen’s Delhi with running water and electricity”, the Hindustan Times said.
He soon received the title deed for the house and arrived in the Indian capital late in March to take possession of the house for an office he planned to set up only to discover he had been cheated.

LAUDERDALE-BY-THE-SEA - A man with car trouble is in trouble after shooting his 1994 Chrysler LeBaron.
John McGivney, 64, pumped five rounds from a .380-caliber semiautomatic into the hood, Broward County sheriff’s deputies said Tuesday.
When the property manager at his apartment complex asked what he was doing, McGivney said, “I’m putting my car out of its misery.” He tucked his gun in a pocket and went back inside.
Deputies responding to a report of gunshots April 15 ordered McGivney to come out of his apartment and arrested him on a misdemeanor charge of discharging a firearm in public. He posted $100 bail.
McGivney said the car has been giving him trouble for years and has “outlived its usefulness.” He called the shooting “dumb” and worries he will be evicted. He doesn’t regret it, though.
