Hyderabad, India – The Cyberabad police have made significant progress in curbing fraudulent land transactions by arresting three individuals suspected of manipulating government orders to illegally sell state-owned property. This case was initiated after a complaint from the Tahsildar who found that false Government Orders (G.O.s) were circulating online inaccurately claiming 10 acres of government land in Survey No. 18, Gandipet Village had been regularized and sold to private owners.
Deception Unveiled
The investigation revealed that members of the Nimmala family, despite their High Court petitions being dismissed in 2025, were falsely claiming ownership of approximately 10 acres. They conspired with accomplices to sell this land for ₹3.5 crore per acre utilizing forged documents. The scheme had already netted them nearly ₹4 crore from potential buyers.
Police seized bank passbooks, Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) documents, mobile phones, and a laptop during searches at the accused's residences. Among those apprehended are Nimmala Rajesh Goud, Nimmala Venugopal, and Nimmala Sai Kiran. Other suspects, including Bolla Ramesh and Brahma Naidu, remain at large with efforts underway to apprehend them.
Local officials urge the public to verify land ownership through official records rather than relying on unofficial documents or information that circulates online before proceeding with property transactions.
