Seven persons were booked in connection with a land fraud, forgery and criminal conspiracy case here on the directions of a metropolitan magistrate court, police said.

According to an FIR, complainants had approached a Jaipur metropolitan magistrate court alleging that the accused entered into a criminal conspiracy to prepare forged property documents and illegally take possession of several residential plots in the Narayan Vihar area.

Details of the Alleged Land Fraud

The complainants, Ruchi Yadav, Deepika Yadav and Chanchal Lata, alleged that the accused created fake pattas (lease deeds) and tampered with plot measurements and layout plans to expand land area and claim ownership.

Despite being aware that the documents were forged, the accused allegedly attempted to grab the land and carry out illegal transactions using those documents and misrepresentation, the FIR read.

Threats and Inaction Prompted Court Intervention

The complainants also alleged that the accused threatened them with dire consequences, including harm to life, if they did not relinquish their claim over the land.
