Balrampur:September 21, 2020. The first arrest has been made in the famous government land scam case of Balrampur district. Police have arrested Vyas Muni Yadav, Congress leader and MLA representative of MLA Brihaspati Singh of Ramanujganj.
The case is of village Inderpur Khori located in Ramanujganj police station area of the district. In the year 2015, a case of selling 270 acres of government land was made by making a fake lease. A crime was registered against 34 people in this case. During investigation, it was found that the Arappi had sold this 270 acres of land to a company in Raipur for one crore 18 lakhs. In a very vicious manner, the Arapis were manipulating the official records and also registered the land in the name of the company of Raipur in the year 1970-71.
After the name of several high profile people came to light in this case, the Surguja Commissioner started investigating it and after finding all the records wrong, not only the registry was canceled but the administration took the land back in its possession.
The first arrest has been made in this ongoing case since 2015 and arrested veteran Congress leader and MLA Vyas Muni Yadav.
Police said that at that time the villagers, who had made fake pattas in the name of Arapis, were not locals but were residents of Jharkhand. In this, they have also been made Arapi. After the first arrest in the case of misappropriation of 270 acres of government land, there has been a stir. At the same time, police has also started preparing for the arrest of the remaining accused.
