Gurugram, March 16 -- Two people, including a former government revenue officer, were arrested for allegedly preparing forged land records in connection with a land fraud case linked to a real estate project in Sohna, police said on Saturday. The accused were identified as Satbir Rathi (58), a resident of Rathivas village, and Vishan Kumar (46), a resident of Jhundu Sarai village, police said. The arrests were made on Friday by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW)-I of Gurugram police. Both were produced before a court on Saturday and remanded to two days of police custody. Rathi joined government service as a patwari in 1997 and later served as a kanungo in Sohna tehsil between 2020 and 2023. Vishan Kumar worked as a contractual data entry operator handling land records. The case stems from a complaint filed on July 11, 2024, by a real estate firm alleging fraud in a land development project. The company had entered into a collaboration agreement with landowners in 2018 and invested several crores. Police said the landowners, along with others, allegedly conspired to create forged land-related documents and drafted a fake agreement to alter the original terms. A dispute regarding land access was fabricated and incorrect land records were prepared, causing financial losses, police added. During interrogation, Rathi allegedly acted in collusion with another patwari, Rajendra, and Vishan Kumar to prepare forged mutation records. Officers said the accused allegedly received Rs.40,000 for facilitating the fraudulent documents. Five people have been arrested so far, officers added....
