Hyderabad: Experts are advising people to keep an eye on the possibilities of cheating by fraudsters who seek copies of property documents to change title deeds. They are asking people to file complaints with the police immediately if they find any frauds.
L. Nagamma from Kondapur has a house and some land near Telangana State Special Police Battalion main gate. She lost her husband L. Maraiah a decade ago and documents of their house got misplaced.
So they issued public notices in newspapers saying that they have lost documents of their house.
Soon some persons from the land mafia started visiting their house saying that they had purchased it for Rs 50 lakh from someone.
When Nagamma and her son L. Shikamani explained to them that it was their property and they wouldn’t sell it the mafia asked them to show documents.
Coming to know about the ‘loss of documents’ in the last three weeks about five persons had visited their house on the pretext of purchase.
Hyderabad Additional Commissioner of Police (Crimes & SIT) Swati Lakra said the public should be aware of the possibilities of threats. “In most cases we found the suspects created fabricated documents and used old bond papers,” she said.
Experts have asked the public to keep an eye on registration records frequently in cases of doubts about frauds.
