Shajapur man complains to Collector of fraud and bid to seize visually impaired father's plot

Jameel Khan, a resident of Ali Sarkhed village in Shajapur district, has alleged that two men sold land by fraud and are now trying to take possession of the same plot. On Friday, Jameel submitted a complaint to the Collector and sought an inquiry and action in the matter.

Jameel says his father, Fakhruddin Khan, cannot see with either eye and is also unable to speak. In the complaint he also said his father has paralysis affecting one part of his body.

According to the complaint, Fakhruddin bought a plot from Ibrahim Khan in 1998 for Rs 2,400. A written agreement was also drawn up for it.

According to Jameel, Ibrahim Khan, son of Sikandar Khan, and Shahzad Khan, son of Ibrahim Khan, had drawn up the paperwork for land in Survey No. 88. It is alleged that they later kept the family in the dark and had them put in possession of land in Survey No. 92. Jameel claims this is government land and is not recorded in the names of Ibrahim Khan and Shahzad Khan.

He alleged that the two are now demanding the land back, and that attempts are being made to intimidate the family and forcibly take the plot.

Jameel said his family has been in possession of the plot for about 29 years and an old house already stood there. The family had begun building a new house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. He also has an order from the chief executive officer of the Janpad Panchayat regarding this.

Jameel Khan has asked the administration to have the actual status of the land and the related documents examined. He has appealed for a fair inquiry and justice for his family.
