Land Grabbing Through Record Forgery in Capital

Police busted a gang of nine people, including two sub-registrar office peons, in the capital's Mirpur allegedly for land grabbing through producing fake land record documents.
They also recovered 17 land record books and 200 seals named after government officials from their possession.
Police first arrested deed writer Mehedi Hassan and his two cohorts - Tuku and Obaidur Rahman and recovered 14 original land record books - each consisting 300 pages, and three such books of around 500 pages from Mehedi's house in Mirpur-2 on June 20. Police also seized 200 seals from their possession.
Following their confessional statement, police on different dates arrested two peons Ali Ahmed and Abdus Sobhan of Tejgaon sub-registrar office and another deed writer Jalal Ahmed and Hari Krishna Sarkar, Nogen Sarkar andTopan Roy in this connection.
During interrogation, Mehedi claimed two land traders--Imrul Hassan and Mostafizur Rahman-gave him the record books a month ago, Imtiaz Hossain, deputy commissioner of Mirpur Division of Police told a press briefing in the capital yesterday.
“They told me that they paid around Tk 2 lakh for each book to the arrested peons," the police official quoted Mehedi as saying. Imrul and Mostafizur are on the run.
The seized land record books are of the Tejgaon sub-registrar office, said DC Imtiaz.
He said police had found connections of some politically influential persons and unscrupulous land traders with this criminal act but declined to disclose their names for the sake of investigation.
Lands of different parts in Dhaka district have been recorded in the books, added the police official.
At least three pages in a book are found fake, which show their selected persons as land owners, said the DC, adding that they were scrutinising other books as well.
The persons first removed the original pages of the books and replaced those with the new ones containing fake identities and details. Several pages of the books are also found blank, he said.
Name of Hari Krishna, a jewellery shop worker in Tantibazar, has been
recorded as a land owner on one of the fake pages.
Contacted, Dhaka District Registrar Abdul Quayum said they had formed a committee to investigate the incident.
The probe will reveal whether the record books went missing from the office or not, he said, adding that land record books of all 18 sub-registrar offices of the district were kept in theTejgaon office.
