Hyderabad: Cyberabad police have registered another case of cheating and extortion against BRS former MLA A. Jeevan Reddy in connection with a land dispute involving Chaitanya Resorts under the Mokila police limits.

The case was based on a complaint lodged on May 27, businessman Sama Damodhar Reddy, 66, of Upparpally in Rajendranagar. He stated that he had his partners were the legal owners of the land at Tangatoor of Shankarpally mandal under the name Chaitanya Resorts.

Damodhar Reddy told the police that in 2016 he met Jeevan Reddy and his wife Rajitha who showed interest in a property exchange proposal. They signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on June 15, 2016. As mentioned in the agreement, Damodhar Reddy said he transferred 114 acres of land to them out of the total 170 acres.

The couple failed to fulfill the terms of the MoU and reportedly tried to trespass on the remaining land. Damodhar Reddy alleged that despite multiple complaints earlier, no action was taken on Jeevan Reddy because of his political influence.
