Additionally, 40 kanals of state land were also found illegally occupied. "The fraud was allegedly committed in active connivance with revenue officials, who played a key role in manipulating records and circumventing legal procedures," the statement said. The accused have been booked under Sections 420, 447-A, 467, 468, 471, 120-B of the RPC, read with section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. "Further legal proceedings are in progress," it said. The BJP said that the party doesn't tolerate corruption and will take action if its leader Nadeem was found to be involved.
