CID to register case in the Kanke land scam
1 2 Ranchi: Police headquarters instructed the criminal investigation department (CID) to take over the case related to land scam involving hundreds of acres in Kanke block of Ranchi district. The scam is related to illegal transaction of tribal and gair mazirwa land by changing their nature. The role of land mafias, along with the employees of Kanke circle office and the National Informatics Centre (NIC), is under scanner in this connection. Director general of police (DGP) Anurag Gupta said, "I directed the CID to identify the persons, who manipulated the land records at the CO office and the NIC to alter the nature of land. The CID has also been urged to identify the beneficiaries, including land mafias and other big players." Police headquarters asked the CO office and the NIC to provide details of land records. The changes in nature of land have been made with and without the signature of CO officers. The involvement of NIC staffs is likely in cases where modifications are without signatures, sources said. Earlier, Jharkhand police had registered a case in this connection with Kanke police station and a special team under deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Amar Kumar Pandey started the investigation. Former Kanke CO staff Praveen Kumar Agrawal was arrested. Agrawal is an approver in the case for the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), which is investigating the case from money laundering point of view. The ED had on June 6 raided the Chandini Chowk-based flat of land mafia Kamlesh Kumar and seized Rs 1 crore in cash and 100 cartridges. Kamlesh was arrested on charges of attempting to occupy a Kanke-based land owned by a tribal in October 2021. On July 27, the ED interacted with villagers in Kanke after receiving complaints from them that land mafias have captured large areas, including tribal assets by changing nature of land and use of money and force. A villager, Parnu Oroan, alleged that people had lodged complaints with the local police station and the CO but the steps did not yield any result.
