Multiple FIR filed for illegal sale of land in Khori village

  • | Monday | 5th July, 2021

The police said the investigation was underway and the accused would be arrested after the identification process was over.

The police have registered 21 cases in connection with the "illegal sale" of land at Khori village in the Aravalli area.

Over 5,000 residential units in the village are set to be razed following a Supreme Court order issued last month to “remove all encroachments” in the Aravalli forest region in the Lakkadpur-Khori village area. Residents, however, have refused to budge despite electricity and water supply being cut off for over two weeks now.

It comes following the demand raised by local residents and leaders of various political parties, who sought legal action against officials and property dealers, who sold the land to innocent buyers and hid the fact that it came under the PLPA Act.

Some of the accused have been identified as Anangpal; Satish; Aman; Kalu; Tejvir; Taslim; Gaurav; Tejpa; Babu; Master; Kallam; Guruji and Parvin. No arrest has been made so far.

The police said the investigation was underway and the accused would be arrested after the identification process was over.

However, describing it as a face-saving exercise, MLA (NIT) Neeraj Sharma asked who would identify and book administrative officials, who failed to check illegal constructions in the protected Aravalli belt for the past three decades.

The Supreme Court, in an order on June 7, had directed the Municipal Corporation of Faridabad (MCF) to “take all essential measures to remove encroachments on the subject forest land without any exception,” giving the civic body six weeks to complete the task.
