HYDERABAD: The Cyberabad economic offences wing (EOW) police arrested one Udandapuram Narsimhulu, a resident of Medak district, for allegedly fabricating and forging documents of government land in Allipur, Shivampet mandal and cheating two persons of Rs 1.7 crore.
The police were acting on a complaint lodged by N.V.V. Subrahmanyam of Suraram, who said Narsimhulu had told them that the land was private property. The complainant is a priest at the Sri Nikhila Sai Maitreya Madhusudhana Saraswati Peetham at Suraram Colony, Jeedimetla. He intended to purchase the land in Shivampet mandal to construct a temple, he told the police.
In 2018, he got acquainted with the accused at the tahsildar’s office Shivampet mandal. The accused, Narsimhulu, introduced himself as an employee working at the tahsildar office and told the complainant that he was due for promotion to deputy tahsildar.
According to Subrahmanyam, Narsimhulu assured him of identifying a land parcel for the temple. The accused showed him land on the outskirts of Alipur, which Subrahmanyam agreed to purchase. It turned out that the land was held by the government.
Narsimhulu allegedly created fake pahanis and documents said to be issued by the tahsildar and made it appear that the land was privately held. He handed over the fake documents to Subrahmanyam and collected Rs 1.2 crore from him. Narsimhulu is also accused of cheating one Aleti Kumar of Rs 50 lakh.
