Indore Demolishes Illegal Colony, Files FIR Against Land Mafia
In Indore, a government area called Sirpur was found to have a fake village built on land that belongs to the state.
The local officials tore down the buildings and started a police case against the people who were trying to sell the land as if it were private.
They discovered that more than 100 fake plots were sold for about 5 lakh rupees each, which could have cheated people out of about 5 crore rupees.
The police also ordered people living in tin‑shed houses on the land to leave.
The case shows how the government is trying to stop illegal land use and protect public property.
Government land in Sirpur, worth ~₹40 crore, was found to have an illegal colony.
Structures were demolished and an FIR was filed against alleged land mafia, including Ajju Khan.
The land is registered to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Welfare Department, not to Ajju Khan.
More than 100 plots were sold at ₹5 lakh each, defrauding citizens of about ₹5 crore.
Eviction orders were issued for residents living in tin‑shed houses on the land.
