Bijnor: A case of alleged forgery of land has come to light from Najibabad area of the district. The case of land forgery is related to the ancestral land of Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath. It has been learnt that fake will and alleged fake death certificate were used to try to take possession of the Congress leader’s land in Amikhanpur village. The police have registered a case against four people in connection with the incident. Two of the accused have been arrested and sent to jail, while the search for two others is underway.
Fraud on 26 bighas of land
Congress leader Kamal Nath’s ancestral farming land is in Amikhanpur village of Najibabad tehsil. According to the complaint filed by the police, about 90 bighas of ancestral land has been mentioned in the name of Kamal Nath’s father late Mahendranath. Out of this land, a case of land grabbing of land through fake documents has come to light. The matter came to light when on May 18, 2026, Kamal Nath applied to the court of Najibabad Tehsildar to register the inheritance on the land. During the examination of revenue records, the land was said to be disputed and it was found that there was already a case going on regarding this land.
Forged documents
According to the police, the land was claimed by a person named Dharampal Singh. An alleged unregistered will was produced in the court records to strengthen this claim. According to the complaint, the will was said to have been prepared in the name of Mahendranath. The police investigation also revealed that other people played a role in preparing this document and strengthening the claim on the land. According to the police, the arrested accused have been identified as Dharampal Singh and Vijay Shankar. According to reports, Vijay Shankar is accused of typing the alleged will.
Error in death certificate
One of the most important documents in this case is the alleged death certificate. According to his complaint, his father Mahendranath died on September 7, 2004 at a hospital in Delhi. However, in the documents found before the police, it is alleged that the date of his death was recorded as April 10, 2003 and the certificate was issued from Najibabad. That is, according to the complainant, the date of death itself was recorded more than a year later. The police are now investigating the genuineness of this document, the process of its release and the role of those involved in it.
Two of the four accused arrested
A case was registered against four people at Najibabad police station on the complaint of Congress leader Kamal Nath. The names of the named accused are Dharampal Singh, Jaswinder Singh Dhillon, Vijay Shankar Pandey and Regional Accountant David Kumar. The police have arrested Dharampal Singh and Vijay Shankar and sent them to jail. At the same time, Jaswinder Singh Dhillon and Lekhpal David Kumar are being searched. Police say that teams are conducting raids to arrest the absconding accused. (Inputs by Rohit Tripathi)
