Jaipur: Land mafia use 'royal connection' to grab prime plots


Jaipur: The land mafia in the city is using 'royal connection' to grab prime localities in the city, reports claim.

According to reports, the Jaipur police in reeling under complaints from people, who accused the land mafia is claiming their ownership over the land, insisting that the particular piece of land was allotted to their ancestors by the royal family of Jaipur. They are even producing fake land deeds and forged signatures of erstwhile rulers to take the victim into confidence, reports said.

The issue came to light after a caretaker lodged an FIR against five people at Vaishali Nagar police station. In his FIR report, the caretaker of Pungalia farm stated that some musclemen barged into the farm house on November 9 and vandalized the area. The caretaker added that the men claimed that the farm was gifted to one Baal Singh in 1947 by Sawai Man Singh, the ruler of Jaipur and even produced some papers claiming they got the land deed (patta) issued to them in 1953 by the rulers, said a police officer associated with the case.

On being approached by the police in connection to the case, the royal family claimed that the land in dispute was not owned by them and thus they can't gift it to anyone.

Based on the statement, the police have registered a case of cheating against six persons.

The practice of grabbing prime land by using similar means is not a new thing in the city. According to officials of JDA police station, a person had encroached a prime land by claiming that it was given to him as per the will of Rajmata Gayatri Devi.
