BENGALURU: Central Crime Branch (CCB) officials have apprehended a sub-registrar and a realtor-cum-middleman over a land-grabbing case in Beratena Agrahara, Begur.
The individuals arrested are Kumari Roopa, who is currently employed at the Kacharakanahalli sub-registrar office, and Naveen Kumar.
This case dates back to August 2022, initiated by a landowner at the Parappana Agrahara police station, naming 139 suspects in the FIR. According to the complainant, he entered into an oral agreement with Naveen and others to develop residential sites, with a total of 107 sites designated for this project.
However, the landowner claims that the accused, including Naveen and others, illegally sold multiple plots to other victims by forging documents without his consent.
The case was referred to the CCB in 2024, and so far, approximately 100 suspects have been detained. Roopa was working at the BTM Layout sub-registrar office when the alleged scam occurred.
