Big land scam in Chandausi! Some people sold fake plots near a historical stepwell. Officials found that 114 plots were sold using a fake will, mostly to people from the minority community. The police and intelligence agencies are looking into who really owns the land. This land used to be part of Laxmanganj but later became the Mughalpura colony.
The problem started when a 54-year-old widow named Gulnaz B. filed a complaint. She said she was tricked and scared into leaving her house that was built over the stepwell. She bought a big 103-square-kilometer plot in 2016 from a woman named Aamna Begum. Gulnaz had official approval to build her home. But after the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) found the stepwell, she was suddenly told to leave. Gulnaz said, “When I asked Aamna about this, they threatened me and my family.”
Inspector Renu Singh from the Chandausi police said an investigation is underway. Meanwhile, officials are checking land records to see who really owns the plots.
In a related story, Sambhal District Magistrate Rajender Pensiya and Superintendent of Police Krishan Kumar Bishnoi found buildings on land that belongs to the ASI-protected Chandreshwar Mahadev Temple. This temple originally had a large area of 80 bighas but now only has 19 bighas left. Over 50 bighas that belong to the temple have been wrongly used for grazing and rented out.
The ASI sign on the temple has also been damaged. SP Bishnoi stated, “A gazetted officer will look at the land records within three days. If we find any issues, we will file a report. Old documents from 1952 will help us settle any ownership problems.” Authorities are committed to recovering the land and fixing the irregularities found in this ongoing investigation
