SRINAGAR, Oct 17: The Economic Offences Wing of Crime Branch Kashmir filed a chargesheet against eight individuals including four revenue officials in connection with FIR No. 23/2019 related to a major land fraud case.
It said that the case originated from a complaint alleging that Nadeem Ahmad Mayer and Shafiq Ahmad Mayer, residents of Iqbal Colony, Shalteng Srinagar, illegally encroached upon 52 Kanals of land at Ehel Danihama by fabricating revenue records.
Fake & forged mutations were executed under the guise of an oral gift from the complainant’s uncle, despite no lawful or familial basis.
Investigation revealed multiple irregularities including the absence of the official mutation record (Parti Sarkar), missing treasury voucher numbers and dates, and unauthorized mutation by only one co-owner, disregarding the rights of the other.
Additionally, 40 Kanals of State land were also found illegally occupied. The spokesperson said that the fraud was allegedly committed with the active connivance of revenue officials, who played a key role in manipulating records and circumventing legal procedures.
The accused have been booked under Sections 420, 447-A, 467, 468, 471, 120-B of the RPC, read with Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
Further legal proceedings are in progress
