Punjab's Economic Offences Wing has lodged an FIR alleging a fraudulent claim and document tampering on a 7.70‑acre plot in Bhagta Majra village, Kharar.
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Punjab registered a First Information Report on Tuesday, citing a suspected fraudulent claim on a 7.70‑acre parcel of land in Bhagta Majra village, Kharar. The FIR alleges that the claimant manipulated land records to create a false title for the property.
According to the complaint, the alleged perpetrator altered ownership documents and submitted them to local authorities in an attempt to assert illegal possession of the plot. The EOW has seized the disputed paperwork for forensic examination to verify the extent of the tampering.
Investigators have not disclosed the identity of the suspect or any arrests made so far. The case is being pursued under the Prevention of Corruption Act and relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code dealing with forgery and fraud.
Land disputes are common in Punjab, where agricultural and developmental pressures often lead to contested ownership. The EOW’s intervention underscores the agency’s focus on curbing financial crimes linked to real‑estate fraud.
