Naib tehsildar arrested

police today booked a naib tehsildar, two ‘vasika nawis’ and an ‘up pradhan’ of a village panchayat on the charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating and forgery for helping in the sale of a piece of land belonging to a mentally sick person by fraudulent means.
The SHO of the Jawali police station said an FIR under Sections 420, 120-B, 467, 468 and 469 of the IPC was registered against Swarna Devi, R.C. Jaswal (naib tehsildar), Desh Raj, Dharam Singh (vasika nawis) and Rajinder Kumar (up pradhan of Dasoli gram panchayat) on the complaint of Duni Chand, brother of Kashmir Chand, who is mentally sick. Purchasers of the land, Sewa Singh, Tilak Raj, and one Lachi Ram have also been booked.
Duni Chand had alleged that Swarna Devi, wife of Kashmir Chand, fraudulently got a power of attorney on behalf of her husband with the help of two ‘vasika nawis’ on February 14 and sold two pieces of land for Rs 90,000 to Sewa Singh and Rs 4.75 lakh to Tilak Raj by manipulating with the naib tehsildar.
He alleged Kashmir Chand was mentally sick for the past 15 years and hence not fit to take decisions in his interest.
