Producing the accused before the media in Sangareddy on Wednesday, SP Chennuri Rupesh said they had forged Aadhar cards and got fake death certificates of plot holders to sell the lands to other persons. They focused on plots which were not occupied for a long time and then would create a fake death certificate in the name of the plot owner. They also forged documents producing some persons as legal heirs of the plot owner.

“The accused lured some innocents by offering Rs.2,000 to Rs.3,000 to act as legal heirs of the plot owners during the transactions,” he said, asking the people to carefully examine documents before purchasing land.
