Court Convicts Three in 30-Year-Old Fake Identity Land Allotment Case
A long time ago, the government in Delhi gave a piece of land to someone named Suman as part of a program to help farmers.
But many years later, the police found out that Suman was not a real person.
Some people had made up this name to trick the government and get the land.
The police found papers with Suman's name at the home of a lawyer named N K Gupta.
The lawyer, his wife, and a government worker named S S Malhi were accused of cheating.
The court found them guilty because they had lied and made fake documents to get the land.
The court said they did this to get land they were not supposed to have.
The police also said these people had done similar bad things in other cases and were guilty there too.
A fictitious person named Suman was allotted a plot in Delhi in 1992 under a government scheme for farmers.
The CBI found that Suman did not exist and that the allotment was obtained using forged documents.
N K Gupta, his wife, and S S Malhi were accused of criminal conspiracy, forgery, and corruption.
