The land belongs to our ancestors and we could not understand how it was sold. When we questioned his servant and challenged the deal, we were terrorised by Vikas.”
Similarly, the gangster was accused of getting the ‘bainama’ done on cheaper rates. Ramji of the same village said, “We were called to the gangster’s house and thrashed by his goons who also threatened to shot us. When we tried to approach local police, they shooed us away from the police station.”
These were not the only one victimised by the gangster’s and his aides, a number of other people like Ghafoor, Lal Mohammad and Lallan are running from pillar to post to gain control of the agricultural land they inherited from their ancestors.
“We have launched an investigation in this regard after procuring actual map of the agricultural landscape of the village and are in the process of recording statements of the complainants. We would initiate action as per the law,” said treasury inspector Ram Khilawan.
