DVAC probes former sub-registrar for registration of land using fake documents

Former Neelankarai sub-registrar Arumuga Navaraj, now posted in Guduvancherry, with a corrupt motive conspired with other accused and abusing his official position to their favour without following the rules and regulations of the department forged documents and posing them as genuine, made a series of fraudulent registrations along with other accused thereby deliberately causing wrongful loss to the legal heirs of late Meera Mydeen, a Malaysian resident, and equivalent wrongful gain to the four co-accused, said a DVAC FIR.

In respect of the said property, measuring five grounds and 2,388 square feet in VGP Golden Beach, purchased by Meera Mydeen in 1982, other accused Hasan Mohammed, Nihara Jamal, Bairos Banu Jamal and Saravanan with the connivance of Arumugha Navaraj, created fake documents, forged power of attorney, and showed that the land was purchased by Nihara. In the process, Meera Mydeen’s legal heirs — his wife and three daughters — lost the property.
