New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS): The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police arrested a person for encroaching on government land and constructing 38 flats there.

The EOW registered a case against the accused, Diler Singh (56), resident of Chhatarpur village, under sections 420/467/468/471/120B of the IPC after a former Principal Secretary-cum-Divisional Commissioner filed a complaint.

Two other accused, Jagbir Singh and Ganesh Kumar, were also arrested for executing sale documents in favour of buyers.

It was reported that unauthorised flats called 'Neelakanth Apartment' were constructed on plot no. 152 to 154, a government land (Compensation Pool Property), and on plot no. 151 and 108, a private land in Chhatarpur village and the flats were sold to the general public.

During the course of investigation it was found that Jagbir Singh and Ganesh Kumar executed the sale documents of plot number 151 & 108 from Diler Singh and his brother Kulwant Singh.

Plot No. 151 was owned by Pritam Kaur and plot no. 108 was owned by Bola Singh, father of Diler Singh and Kulwant Singh. Diler Singh and Kulwant Singh are the nephews of Pritam Kaur and were residing at plot no. 150.

The accused Diler Singh forged the GPA purportedly executed by his aunt Pritam Kaur, sold plot no. 151 to Rajesh Dhir and further transferred to builders without any demarcation of the properties.

"Taking benefit of non-demarcation, the alleged builders occupied the adjacent plots no. 152-154 illegally and constructed apartments and sold to the innocent victims," OP Mishra, Joint CP, EOW, said.
