The district police on Wednesday registered a case of fraud against a minority leader for using fake land documents to transfer six acres of land belonging to the reputed hotel Noor-Us-Sabah Palace.
According to Koh-e-Fiza police station in-charge Manish Mishra, a case of fraud has been registered against the accused Hiffzur Rehman.
The accused transferred six acres of land in collusion with government officials. He had claimed that the land has been donated to him by the Bhopal Nawabs but the claims were found false after which a case was registered on Tuesday.
The investigation has been started and it is possible that during the investigation the name of the officials and employees at the SDM office who helped the accused in the fraud would be included in the FIR.
Police said around one and a half month, Miraz Wadoot of Reliable Group had filed a complaint with the police alleging that the six acres of land was transferred by Hiffzur Rehman by producing fake documents in which the government officials have colluded to facilitate the transfer of ownership in his name.
Koh-e-Fiza police SHO told that during investigation, it was found that the documents related to ‘Hibanama’ of the said land, were forged. After the facts came to fore, the police registered a case of fraud against Rehman.
The accused Hiffzur Rehman is president of Muslim Festivals Committee.
The police have registered a case under section 420 and 466 of the IPC and have started further investigation.
