Hyderabad: The Miyapur land scam gets murkier by the day. The suspension of Ibrahimpatnam in-charge sub-registrar Saleha Qadeer for registering 50 acres of government land in Hafeezpur on the city’s outskirts, took a new twist with the names of family members of Telangana Rashtra Samithi MP K. Keshava Rao surfacing. Sources in the revenue department rubbished Mr Rao's claims.
“Who will set up a solar power plant on the city’s outskirts where land is worth crores of rupees per acre? In Hafeezpur, the current market rate is Rs 4 crore per acre. The 50-acre site is worth Rs 200 crore. Even the government rate is nearly Rs 50 lakh per acre, which amounts to Rs 25 crore. The site is suitable for real estate ventures. Prominent real estate firms have started construction of huge residential complexes near this site,” the sources said.
