Two Arrested in Akola for Alleged Farmland Sale Using Forged Documents

Two Arrested in Akola for Alleged Farmland Sale Using Forged DocumentsPreviousNext

The Economic Offences Wing of Akola police arrested Gopal Agarwal and Shivshankar Parihar for allegedly selling farmland in Nimkarda, Balapur Taluka, using forged documents. Parihar reportedly impersonated the landowner, Arvind Dethe, and presented a fake Aadhaar card. A fingerprint mismatch during registration raised suspicion, leading the buyer to contact the real owner, who confirmed the fraud. The accused were charged with forgery and cheating and remanded in custody until June 28.
