The Jubilee Hills police here on Sunday nabbed five persons out of eight for forging documents and attempting land grabbing in the posh area.
According to A Venkateswara Rao, Deputy Commissioner of Police, West Zone, the accused discovered that owner of Plot No. 550-V was not visiting the plot for a long time and obtained certified copies of the Sale Deed of neighbouring plot No. 550 under Jubilee Hills Co-operative House Building Society Limited. The accused also created a forged voter ID card of land owner Lakshmi Raghuramaiah, who expired in 2003, in the name of Susheela Bai, 83 years as the land owner.
Later, the accused tried to sell the plot no. 550-V with the support of certified documents of plot No. 550 for Rs 1.7 crores saying that the property was worth Rs 7 crores and they were selling it cheap as they were not in possession of link documents. Meanwhile, the complainant came to know that his land documents were created and somebody was trying to sell the same. He immediately approached the Jubilee Hills Police and lodged a complaint against the accused. The police registered a case under provisions of AP Land Grabbing Act 1982 on Sunday and laid a trap for the accused.
When the accused approached the complainant for effecting sale agreement, the latter asked them to come to Green Park Hotel at Ameerpet for a discussion. While the accused and the complainant were discussing, the police swooped on the accused and arrested five of them while two others were absconding. As the eighth accused Susheela Bai is 83 years old, the police served a notice to her under Sec. 41 (a) Cr.P.C. The police also seized original Agreement of Sale, Voter ID card in the name of Susheela Bai and an HP Laptop.
The arrests were made by K. Veerabhadra Kumar, SI, Jubilee Hills, under the supervision of S. Venkat Reddy, Inspector and D. Uday Kumar Reddy, Asst. Commissioner of Police, Banjara Hills Division, under the direct supervision of DCP, West Zone, A. Venkateswara Rao, IPS. (NSS)
