District revenue authorities brought the land worth Rs 15 crore in Bandlaguda, Hyderabad under its possession on Wednesday.  The action was taken in response to the attempts of a local wrestler who tried to sell the 13 acre land after dividing it into plots.

He produced fake documents and displayed the land in survey numbers 80 and 81 and named the venture as ‘Mohammedi Hills’.  Originally, it was in survey no. 82 and 84 and was a ceiling surplus land which later came under the government in the year 1971, says Bandlaguda mandal revenue officer P. Leela.

The district authorities came to know about the scandal through some sources. The officers led by a special deputy collector found the land to be divided into a number of plots, further informs Leela.

The team took possession of the land, erected boards stating that it was government’s land. Now, the fences have also been erected around the land in an order to protect it.

The authority has so far taken possession of a whopping 95 acres of land worth Rs 1,300 crore, says R.V. Chandravadan, Hyderabad district collector.
