Retired IAS Officer Among Six Booked in Rs 87 Lakh Land Fraud Case

Indian Masterminds Stories

In a significant development, police have registered a case of fraud against retired IAS officer Ashok Chandra and five others in connection with a land fraud case amounting to Rs 87 lakh. The case was filed following a court order on Sunday.

According to the complaint filed by Harinam, a resident of Karora village in Nagram, the fraudulent transaction dates back to 2015. Harinam’s father, Ayodhya Prasad, had discussed selling four biswa of land with an acquaintance, Mishrilal, from Sahan Kheda. Mishrilal assured them that a man named Chamanlal would purchase the land.

When the deal was finalized, Harinam and his father went to Mohanlalganj Tehsil for the registration process. There, they encountered Mishrilal’s associate, Durga Prasad. It is alleged that Mishrilal’s lawyer took Ayodhya Prasad’s thumb impression on the registry papers without allowing him to read them. The family later discovered that the land was not registered in Chamanlal’s name but had been transferred to someone else.

The complaint further states that Mishrilal and Shailendra took Harinam and his father to the collectorate, where they were made to sign blank papers under the pretense of completing official formalities. Even Harinam’s uncle was allegedly forced to provide thumb impressions.

The accused reportedly conspired to obtain official approval from the district magistrate’s office. Subsequently, another accused, Rajendra, allegedly replaced his father’s name with that of a man named Rishu and sold the land to retired IAS officer Ashok Chandra. The accused also took Rs 87 lakh from Chandra. However, Ashok Chandra has claimed that he was also deceived in the process and lost money to the accused.

Nagaram SHO confirmed that a case has been registered against Ashok Chandra, Rishu Singh, Shivam Bhaskar, Shailendra Singh, Durga Prasad, and Mishrilal. Investigations are ongoing, and further legal action will be taken based on the findings.
