Tamil Nadu - Chennai   

Held for land grab bid

CHENNAI: Two persons were arrested on Wednesday on charges of land grabbing.

Following a complaint from S.Pakkirisami of Sastri Nagar, Adyar, that some persons had managed to sell his property on Sathsang Road, Madipakkam, valued at Rs 1 crore, by preparing forged documents, Commissioner of Police G.Nanchil Kumaran directed the Central Crime Branch police to register a case. Investigations revealed that a three-member gang had fabricated documents such as death certificate and legal heir certificate of Pakkirisami and registered the land measuring 5,616 square feet in their name through a forged general power of attorney at the Pallavaram Sub-Registrar Office.

Subsequently, the gang also attempted to sell the property. The main accused, K.S.Ragupathi of Madipakkam, who was arrested a few months ago in connection with similar land grabbing complaints, was detained under the Goondas Act on Wednesday, an investigating officer said.

The police gave the names of accomplices of Raghupathi as K.Meeran Moideen (48) of Ambal Nagar, Keezhkattalai, and K.Habib Rahman (30) of Vyasarpadi, both real estate agents, who allegedly signed as witnesses in the documents. The police registered cases of cheating, forgery and conspiracy against the two persons and produced them before a city court.
