Former Minister and BRS MLA from Medchal Malla Reddy and seven other associates were booked for cheating (IPC Section 420) and wrongfully dispossessing members of a Scheduled Tribe from their land (3 (1) (g) SC/ST Act) in Shamirpet police limits.
The incident was registered by the police, following court directions, on December 6. The issue came to light a week later after an FIR was circulated on Wednesday.
According to the FIR, the land in question was of 47 acres and 18 guntas in survey numbers 33, 34 and 35 at Keshavaram village of Muduchintalapally mandal in Medchal. The land belonged to the ancestors of the complainant, Kethavath Bhikshapati, which was registered in his mother’s name.
