Mumbai Court Denies Bail to Man Accused in Fake Land Deal Case
A Mumbai court denied bail to 71-year-old Prakash Dubey, accused of using counterfeit government stamps to illegally acquire 12,550 square metres of land. The court cited the seriousness of the allegations, potential evidence tampering, and witness intimidation risks, despite Dubey's age and health issues. The prosecution alleges Dubey conspired to forge an irrevocable power of attorney, which was registered fraudulently, enabling unlawful possession. The forgery was uncovered following a Bombay High Court directive to verify related documents.
