The Anti Forgery Wing of the Central Crime Wing on Wednesday arrested the director of an architecture firm for allegedly illegally encroaching a house in Seethammal Colony near the Chief Minister’s residence by using a forged lease document in the name of a property owner who is dead.
According to the police, Mohamed Akmaluddin and his friend entered into a rental agreement with Manjula Butt and her sister Praveen Butt in 2013 for the property located at Seethammal Colony, Alwarpet, for a monthly rent of ₹60,000. The property is worth around ₹5.5 crore at present. Later, they had a lease agreement for the said property and extended. In 2016, Manjula Butt died and her sister had gone out of the city. Their legal heirs settled in other cities. Using this, the accused forged a lease agreement as if it was executed by Manjula Butt and continued to enjoy possession of the property, said the police.
They neither paid the lease amount nor vacated the property after expiry of the lease period. Under these circumstances, Mahaveer Chand, on behalf of the family, lodged a complaint with the police. The case was taken up for investigation by inspector S. Janakiraman and on investigation, the police arrested Mohamed Akmaluddin on charges of forgery and cheating. He was remanded in judicial custody.

Bengaluru saw one of its worst water crises in 2024 with ground water drying up and several parts of the city scrambling for water. With instances like BWSSB supplying treated wastewater to the construction industry, apartments being permitted to sell water from their STPs to the department, and lakes in parts of Bengaluru and neighbouring districts being filled with water from the 33 STP plants in the city, recycling of water became an important topic of conversation during this period.
