'Probe land grabbing in Bangalore'

'Probe land grabbing in Bangalore'
New Indian Express

BANGALORE: The Fact Finding Committee (FFC) looking into cases of land grabbing in and around Bangalore city has asked the State government to order a full-fledged inquiry into the land acquired illegally by housing cooperatives.

Committee chairman A T Ramaswamy told media persons here on Thursday that the housing cooperative societies had indulged in the real estate business and this land grabbing scam could even surpass the stamp paper scam.

“Government officials are equally responsible for the scam to flourish. There are as many as 193 illegal housing coops in the city,” he said.

He also produced a copy of a housing society, which paid a bribe of Rs 4.5 crore to various government agencies and politicians for expediting the land acquirement process.

Unfortunately for this society, work of the land allotment could not progress well despite payment of the bribe, the society’s records revealed, he said.

The committee had found that about 15,000 acres of revenue department land out of 42,000 acres surveyed so far had been encroached, he said. The revenue department owns 1.18 lakh acres around the city.

Land grabbing was also found in Bannerghatta National park and Kadugodi forestland on the outskirts of the city, he added.

I too had bought a site, paid all the betterment charges, taxes etc at the same Manjog Layout at Begur Hobli/Bannerghata road. Now somebody called B V Sampath has put up a board saying he owns that parcel of land. I bought it in 1984 and till 2000, it was not occupied.. but now it is illegally occupied. I am a NRI and it is a pity to note there is no protection for property rights. I propose all the affected owners of Manjog Layout should join together collectively and take legal action against land grabbers.

do you have the purchasers contact with you? I was victimised in a humiliating way by a don at J.P.Nagar who was introduced by 1 Kumar from Adugodi saying that he is a good person and will help me to settle the matter with the encroacher.where as the don took full advantage of my gullible circumstances and hooked me with his expertise in conning me and believe me or not he made my life miserable to the extent which cannot be put in print..He took me to to son of Sampath and made me sign an agreement by not giving any single rupee stating that the senior sampath will settle it only after sees the agreement of sale!!!with emotional outburst without forecasting the after effects I trusted him and became a folish victime of trusting him...4 the current market value of 300000 4 my site...I got a paltry sum of 50,000 and that also with force...AFTER 20 years..my curse on this element is for ever...

before you purchase a revenue site make sure to check the mother deed throughly and make sure it does not come under reservation amd never ever leave the site vacant..make sure to construct a shed and keep some one to watch constantly and make sure the Khatha is transfereed to your name and betterment charges taxes etc.pay in time make constant visits and if some thing suspicious publish a notification in leading news paper above all the land sharks can gobble your site with dubious documents as originals and never ever go to any tom dick and harry for settlement or TRUST any one and if situation is very grave make sure to go to court and the local police station and NEVER NEVER NEVER sign any document by the conmen who will build confidence of getting the best deal with his sweet toungue and trap you in such a manner you will be NOWHERE!!!Eventhough I lost my lifetime investment and on the road at this age I don't want any other victim facing my current agony and anxiety and mental torture at his juncture of my life!!I lost the battle but still in war...MP,BVS,Bob as I mentioned earlier my curse on you all for stealing my site with ur satanic actions will be in my memory even after my death..you all have uprooted my retirement dreams. If there is really god you all will suffer to that extent that no human soul ever undergone...I will keep on opening all your illegal activities to different type of media and awaken the people of Bangalore..Let them know that Billekahalli Dollar colony is reserved by government for urban planning and has been occupied with force,dubious documents,palmgreasing certain goverment tahsildars,registrar and other bureaucrats were in the net of lost MLA from Jayanagar and his son chairman of CMC a constant visitor of Woodys ( a mafia den for land grabbers}makes all the plans to uproot destroy somebody's dream???Beware Bangalorians think 10 times befor investing bilekahally dollars colony INDUS VERNA check all 25 years old record and understand the litigation..If you own a site fight till your last breath and teach these wretched souls a lesson and be blessed.
