Farmer Allegedly Abducted From Gandhinagar Sub-Registrar’s Office; Wife Names Congress Leader

A multi-crore land dispute near Gandhinagar has taken a serious turn, with a farmer’s wife alleging that her husband was abducted from a Sub-Registrar’s office and threatened over the sale of ancestral land. In her complaint, she has claimed that the family was warned against selling the property to anyone other than former Congress MP Jagdish Thakor.

The complaint has brought fresh attention to the land controversy, which Congress leaders had raised politically during the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation elections after MLA Jignesh Mevani flagged concerns over alleged attempts to take over land belonging to members of the Thakor community.

The allegations against the named individuals and the alleged connection to Jagdish Thakor remain subject to police investigation.

Farmer Allegedly Abducted From Sub-Registrar’s Office

Kajal Thakor, the wife of farmer Popatji Thakor, has approached Adalaj police, alleging that her husband was forcibly taken away from the Sub-Registrar’s office in Sector 11, Gandhinagar.

According to her complaint, Ravi Thakor, Gabhu Rabari and Baldev Rabari allegedly prevented Popatji from selling his ancestral land at Khoraj to anyone else. She further alleged that he was abducted and pressured into signing documents over the property.

The complaint states that Popatji has been missing for nearly two months and that his whereabouts remain unknown. His wife has alleged that the dispute centres on attempts to take control of the valuable land.

‘Do Not Sell The Land To Anyone Other Than Jagdish Thakor’

One of the key allegations in the complaint concerns an alleged threat that the land must be sold only to Jagdish Thakor.

Kajal has claimed that the family was warned of consequences if the property was sold to anyone else. The allegation has added a political dimension to the dispute, given the former MP’s name and the controversy previously raised by Congress leaders.

However, the complaint’s allegations do not by themselves establish Jagdish Thakor’s involvement in the alleged abduction or any attempt to take over the land.

Police Probe Focuses On Missing Farmer

Adalaj police are investigating the complaint and searching for Popatji. CCTV footage from the Gandhinagar Sub-Registrar’s office could help investigators establish what happened at the premises, while mobile phone location data may assist in tracing the missing farmer and examining the allegations.

The investigation is ongoing, and further details are awaited. The immediate priority remains locating Popatji and establishing the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

The case has brought the multi-crore land dispute back into the spotlight, but the allegations and the suspected roles of those named will have to be established through the police investigation.
