Four booked for fraudulent compensation claim in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: The Bidadi police in Bengaluru South district have registered two FIRs against four persons for allegedly attempting to fraudulently claim Rs 5 crore in land acquisition compensation by submitting forged ownership and property documents in connection with the Greater Bengaluru Integrated Township (GBIT) Project.
The accused allegedly fabricated documents to establish ownership of land covered by the acquisition process and sought compensation from funds earmarked for the project.
The alleged fraud came to light when officials overseeing the land acquisition process scrutinised the documents submitted for claiming compensation. During verification, discrepancies in the ownership records reportedly raised suspicion and the complaint was filed.
