A B.C. judge has frozen the assets of a former Vancouver Canucks draft pick who is being sued over allegations he defrauded a realtor of more than $2.8 million.
Harpreet Singh Khela, the realtor, claims that Prabh Rai, a fifth-round pick in the 2008 NHL draft, created an image that he's a successful and wealthy business person, claiming to have important connections with prominent local and international business people and retired hockey players.
He says that Rai provided phoney emails, financial statements, agreements and documents from those prominent business people and retired professional hockey players in order to get him to transfer more than $2.8 million for real estate developments and other investments.
