An ACB press release said Goud, Tirupati Reddy, Chandrasekhar and Jaipal were vendors in sale documents of the Sub-Registrar Office in Ranga Reddy district. They sold government land to the ACP in the form of four plots each measuring 490 square yards in Madhapur. The ACP purchased the land in the name of his wife and four other arrested persons — Sriram, Chandra Reddy, Ramesh and Srinivasa Reddy.

During the investigation, it was found without mentioning the land survey number, which is in prohibitory list under Section 22A-(1)(a) of Registrations Act 1908 as it belonged to the government and allotted to APIIC, HUDA and other government agencies, the accused registered the fraudulent gift deeds of the plots in Madhapur in their names in 2016 from their fathers who had no ownership title of the land.

They managed to register the land only by mentioning fictitious house numbers and wrong PTIN numbers. In 2018, the same four plots were purchased by the ACP in the name of his wife, Sriram, Chandra Reddy, Ramesh and Srinivasa Reddy for Rs 80 lakh.

They showed that it is worth about Rs 4 crore in government value while the actual value is Rs 6 crore and the market value is about Rs 50 crore.

“All the accused conspired and colluded with each other to execute the fraudulent deal to grab high-valued government land in prime locality in front of Cyber Towers in Madhapur,” the release added.
