Crime Branch Files Chargesheet in Jammu and Kashmir State Land Encroachment CasePreviousNext

The Crime Branch Jammu filed a chargesheet against Yash Paul for allegedly encroaching on approximately 2 kanal 11 marla (about 1,290 square metres) of state land in Bhajwal village, Rajouri district. The case, initiated by a complaint from Acharya Rajesh Kumar Prashar, involved a mutation dated September 5, 2018, which was later declared null and void by the Sunderbani additional deputy commissioner in 2022. The investigation included land demarcation by revenue and forest officials, substantiating the encroachment allegations.
