In a manner reminiscent of Dehgam, where the Juna Pahadia village was put up for sale, a sale document was made for an entire block of land with 40-50 houses in Gandhinagar’s Magodi.

As per complaint by the residents who have lived here for 47 years, a block of 4 bighas was put up for sale, without their knowledge.

Earlier this month, a similar scam came to light when a raw entry was made for sale of land belonging to Juna Pahadia village in Dehgam. Gandhinagar Local Crime Branch has already made arrests in this matter.

In both cases, a sale document for the land was made without the knowledge of the residents.

Scams related to land are becoming a norm in Gujarat, as cow grazing land worth ₹20,000 crore in Mulasana village was allegedly handed over to builders, leading to the arrest of former Gandhinagar collector S K Langa’s arrest.

The opposition Congress has also alleged collusion between these scammers and the Gujarat government and accused the ruling party and its officials of shielding such elements.
