Bengaluru: Police bust ₹100-crore land grab attempt; 11 arrested for forging records

Bengaluru law enforcement officials have successfully dismantled a sophisticated land-grabbing operation that targeted premium real estate belonging to a private trust. Authorities confirmed that 11 suspects were taken into custody for their roles in orchestrating a scheme to illegally acquire approximately six acres of land.

The investigation revealed that the accused individuals allegedly meticulously created fake genealogy records and death certificates. These documents were used alongside forged grant certificates and other revenue-related paperwork to establish a fraudulent legal chain of ownership over the high-value property.

Initial assessments place the market value of the contested land at roughly ₹100 crore. The arrests were made following an intensive probe into the documentation submitted to revenue departments, which were flagged as inconsistencies by the original trust members. Source: The News Minute.
