He explained that government and private employees bought 200 square yards in survey numbers 739 and 749 and established Ekashila Nagar. However, three individuals managed to create fake documents transferring some 47.25 acres in their names. In 1985, employees from various organizations purchased these lands and established the Ekashila Nagar colony with 2086 plots. Government and private employees bought 200 square yard plots each. However, in 2005, MA Raju, A Venkatesh, and A Vijayabasker created fake documents and registered 47.25 acres of land under their names and managed to get a mutation, he said.

Over 700 families who had built their houses in the place found themselves engaged in a legal tangle. The BJP leader said that when he along with the victims visited the field, they encountered goons who opposed them.

The BJP leader called for the restoration of plots and homes, urging the government to act against the real estate mafias and protect the rights of the poor. He asserted that the BJP would continue to stand by the victims and fight for justice. He also highlighted the need for proper implementation of the Land Regularization Scheme (LRS) to prevent such incidents in the future.
