Uttarakhand: The tenure of the SIT formed to investigate the Dehradun registry fraud was extended by four more months, the Governor gave approval

The tenure of the SIT probing the registry fraud has been extended for another four months. Now this SIT will remain in existence till 28 February 2025. So far, about 30 cases have been registered in the SIT investigation. About 20 accused have been arrested in these.

Let us tell you that last year, a complaint received in the District Magistrate’s public hearing program revealed the registry fraud. At that time it was revealed that the land mafia had tampered with the documents of valuable lands of Dehradun and sold them to others. When the investigation progressed, even a well-known advocate of Dehradun was arrested in it. After this, on July 25, a three-member SIT was formed under the Stamp and Registration Department.

More than 150 complaints arrived one after the other. On March 16, the tenure of the SIT was extended till September 30. Now again the Governor has given approval to extend its tenure till February 28, 2025. Finance Secretary Dilip Javalkar has issued an order in this regard. Let us tell you that the Enforcement Directorate is also investigating the registry fraud.
