The case of prosecution in brief is that on 15.03.2025 at 17.00 hours de-facto complainant Gundavarapu Venkatappaiah Sarma lodged a complaint with the police stating that he purchased Plot No.58, admeasuring 311 square yards in Survey Nos. 404 and 405, Srinivas Nagar, Rampally, vide document No.4262/1981. He mentioned that granite stones were used to mark the boundary of the plot. On 02.04.2013, he paid the full Layout Regularization Scheme (LRS) fee and obtained regularization for the plot. He visited the plot for every six months to check its status. However, in 2024, he could not visit as he was away from Hyderabad. Later, on 11.02.2025, when he visited the plot, he found that a precast wall had been built, and a board was erected stating that the plot belonged to Shiva and was not for sale. Upon verifying the situation, he checked the IGRS Telangana App and discovered that four transactions took place in the year 2024. The plot, which was originally 311 square yards, was shown as 350 square yards. One Syed Aleem, a resident of Lalapet, Secunderabad (currently residing at C-172/1, Vinoba Nagar, Lalapet, Secunderabad), had used a fake registered sale deed bearing Document No.4260 of 1981 to sell the plot to Sri Mamidala Anjaneyulu on 16.04.2024, with the total plot size being 350 square yards. Subsequently, Sri Mamidala Anjaneyulu had sold 175 square yards of the plot to Smt.T.V. Kamala Devi Boddu, w/o Sita Rama Raju Boddu, resident of Flat-303, Road No. 1, Sri Brahma Enclave, Bandari Layout, Nizampet, on 21.06.2024. The balance 175 square yards was sold to Choppavarapu Shiva, S/o Late Krishna, resident of 1-1- 29/6/20, Sailok Colony, Jammigadda, Kapra, ECIL Post, Hyderabad-62, on 02.09.2024, vide document No. 6932/2024, who in turn deposited Document No. 6932/2024 with IDFC First Bank Limited, Begumpet, and obtained a loan of Rs.50 lakhs. Therefore, Gundavarapu Venkatappaiah Sarma has requested that necessary legal action be taken against the individuals involved in these fraudulent transactions. Basing on the said complaint, the police have registered the present crime for the aforesaid offences.
