The government had declared the village’s 223 kanal land as surplus in 1981 and the same land needed to be allotted to those who had less than 2 hectares of land in 1971. Instead of giving the land to actual beneficiaries, the then SDM and patwari allotted the land to these accused.

The case was registered on June 29 this year, three years after the investigation was completed, on the complaint of Deputy superintendent of police Surendra Pal. ENDS
