In yet another corruption case that has come to fore after the unauthorised colonies scam, six officials of Revenue Department, including Sub-Registrar of Kashmere Gate, tehsildar (Najafgarh) and two BDO (Revenue), have been found indulging in forging and faking property documents to make a sale deed out of it.
As of now, the Delhi Government’s Revenue Department has suspended Sub-Registrar Manoj Kumar and his record keeper Sushil Mann who forged documents of a property in Malkganj in north Delhi area and made a sale deed to sell a palatial property (N-128) at Greater Kailash-I in south Delhi in other’s name.
According to Divisional Commissioner (Revenue) Vijay Dev, a police case has also been registered against Manoj Kumar and his assistant Sushil Mann for tampering with Government records, forgery and cheating. Both the officials have been suspended. Preliminary investigation revealed that a property at Malka Ganj area was sold to Laxman Dass by Hari Chand Gupta on October 30, 1987. The document of the said property was forged in connivance with Sub Registrar by Purushottam Oak and a bungalow of Greater Kailash was sold to one Raj Singh Malik.
The forgery was detected following a complaint from Ram Avtar, original owner of the property (N-128) at Greater Kailash that his property was sold to a person on the basis of fake property documents. During the investigation, it was found that Sub Registrar Manoj Kumar and his record keeper in connivance with property mafia changed the name of ownership on the certified document on August 27, 2011 as the owner of the said property was not residing in the national Capital.
“When he came to know that his property was sold, he went to Delhi police to take help, but they suggested filing a complaint before the Revenue Department to this effect,” said Dev, adding that the Government will have to take strict action against officials involved in corrupt practices to give a strong message to the people.
In another case in which Revenue Department has found a racket involving hundreds of domicile, income and OBC certificates in the Najafgarh tehsil and Mehrauli subdivision.
According to Dev, FIR has been registered against tehsildar Ashok Kumar for tempering with government records, forgery and cheating. He has been suspended on the basis of an inquiry into the issuing of certificates in the Palam tehsil, which was being handled by him as additional charge during December. Before he took charge of the Najafgarh tehsil in September, Kumar was in charge of the Punjabi Bagh tehsil, which is now under scrutiny as well.
“Certificates like domicile, income and OBC are critical documents for admissions and employment. For genuine applicants, they have tremendous value and any attempts to counterfeit these or give them to fake applicants are unacceptable,” Dev said.
In another case, the department has been accused of not even responding to the summons of the Delhi High Court. The case pertains to a land of four bigha 16 biswa government land in the Najafgarh area where officials used to fake sale deeds of government land and pass on to private party. Two officials, including a BDO, was suspended in this case a few days ago.
