Three Arrested in Hyderabad Over Fake Government Orders for Gandipet Land

The arrests reveal a racket that used forged government orders to sell nearly 10 acres of government poramboke and that investigators traced about ₹4 crore in payments.

Overview

  • Police in Narsingi arrested three members of the Nimmala family on Friday after the Gandipet tahsildar reported fabricated government orders circulating on WhatsApp and other social media.
  • Officers searched the accused homes and seized bank passbooks, Memoranda of Understanding, mobile phones and a laptop that investigators say show faked G.Os and sales paperwork.
  • Investigators say the plot targeted about 10 acres in Survey No. 18 of Gandipet, that MoUs were signed to sell land at ₹3.5 crore per acre, and that nearly ₹4 crore was collected from prospective buyers.
  • Several alleged conspirators named by police, including Bolla Ramesh and Bolla Brahma Naidu, are absconding and four special teams have been formed to track them down.
  • The case follows a High Court rejection of the family's petitions in October 2025 and highlights a common fraud method in India where forged G.Os are shared on social media to create a false paper trail for government or common land called poramboke.
