"The land belonged to Custodian department and these people were also shown as local allottees in the revenue record. On 13.01.2001 the revenue officials cancelled the Sahat Kasht Girdwari of Gagu @ Gagi s/o Fulla and others and entered the name of Late Sheela Wanti w/o Khayali Ram in their place illegally, he said. "During the course of verification it is found that the land in question is situated at a very prime place and has handsome market value and the Land mafia was aggressively pursuing the case of possession of the said land, official said.
