Two Brothers Arrested in Odisha for Falsely Declaring Mother Dead to Transfer Property
In Odisha's Bhadrak district, two brothers were arrested for allegedly declaring their mother, Aisha Bibi, dead in official records to transfer her property to themselves. Aisha, who has six daughters, claimed the affidavit submitted by her sons falsely stated she died 40 years ago and had no daughters. The revenue inspector reportedly acted on this affidavit, removing her name from land records. After lodging a complaint and staging a hunger strike, police registered a case and initiated legal action against the accused.
