F'bad political leader held in Rs.5-cr land fraud
Gurugram, April 30 -- A district-level leader of a national party was arrested in Faridabad for allegedly attempting to grab a residential plot belonging to an elderly Delhi woman by forging documents, despite a Supreme Court ruling in her favour, police said on Wednesday.
The accused was arrested on Tuesday after it was found that he had prepared forged documents to take control of and sell the 250-square-yard plot in Sector-35, Ashoka Enclave, currently valued at around Rs.5 crore.
The Supreme Court had upheld the widow's ownership on September 12, 2025. After the apex court ruling, the suspect created a backdated agreement to show he had transferred control of the property to a friend in 2023, and also threatened the woman. HT has withheld the name of the accused as neither he nor his legal representatives could be contacted for comment.

"At least two more associates of the arrested suspect were yet to be caught in the case. They had forged the documents," he said.
The complainant, a woman in her late 60s from RK Puram, had purchased the plot with her husband in 1992. After her husband's death, the original plot owner allegedly committed fraud by selling the property to the accused using a certified copy of the deed. A senior police officer said, "After losing in the apex court too, the suspect hatched conspiracy to usurp the property by forging documents and by threatening the woman following which she approached police in February this year."
An FIR was lodged on February 17 under multiple sections of the BNS, including cheating, forgery, criminal conspiracy and criminal intimidation....
