Authorities in Kashmir arrest a revenue officer and a property broker in connection with an alleged multi-crore land fraud. Investigations focus on how land records are manipulated to facilitate repeated sales of the same properties.
According to the investigation, once a mutation (an administrative change in land records) is cancelled, brokers can obtain fresh land extracts. This process is said to allow the same plots to be reintroduced into records and sold again to new buyers. Officials describe the scheme as involving misuse of the land record system and coordination between officials and intermediaries.
Across reporting, the core allegation remains consistent: cancellation of mutations is used as a step in obtaining updated extracts that enable resales. The accounts emphasize arrests and the mechanism underlying the fraud, without detailing the broader network or the total number of affected transactions in the available summaries.
