FIR Filed in Nashik Land Scam, Police Department Duped
Imagine some people tricked the government and the police in Nashik by selling land that wasn't theirs.
They pretended to own the land, which housed the police's old office and other departments.
These people made fake documents and gave false information to the government to sell the land illegally, causing a loss of around Rs 300 crore.
The real owners of the land are the Nashik Diocesan Trust Association, but the others used a similar-sounding name to trick everyone.
Now, the police are investigating these 37 people involved in the scam.
An FIR has been filed against 37 individuals for a Rs 300 crore land scam in Nashik.
The accused include trustees, builders, and architects, allegedly involved in cheating and forgery.
The scam involves the illegal sale of six acres of land previously leased to the Nashik city police.
The original land belonged to the Nashik Diocesan Trust Association, but was falsely sold by the Nashik Diocesan Council.
The police department and other government bodies were defrauded through fake agreements and false information.
