A former Air Vice Marshal who passed away in 2002 turns up in 2019 to ‘sell’ hisin KR Puram worth Rs 90 cr for a measly sum. Obviously, the ‘buyer’ is a builder who is constructingthereThe’s offices regularises many things. But in this case a man who died 17 years ago was brought back to life.It’s not what you think. A man impersonating a dead Air Vice Marshal entered into a sale agreement at a sub-registrar’s office after producing a fake voter ID card. And no one sniffed it out.The story is about Air Vice Marshal Fredrick Van Allen Scudder who bought 33 guntas of land at Pattanduru Agrahara village in KR Puram Hobli on March 19, 1963 from HG Nicker through a sale deed bearing registration number 7078/62-63.Fredrick Van Allen Scudder, who joined theon September 13, 1943, retired as an Air Vice Marshal on February 29, 1976. With no news about Scudder’s whereabouts, land mafia became active to take control of his land and helped Neelakantachar to impersonate FVA Scudder.With the staff at KR Puram Sub-Registrar’s office not verifying the documents properly, Neelakantachar managed to enter into an agreement of sale on May 10, 2019 with Hedayath Ulla Shariff of HBR Layout and Abdul Sajid Pasha Madari of Lingarajapuram for Rs 8,50,00,000.Later, a deed of cancellation of sale agreement was signed between FVA Scudder (Neelakantachar) and Hedayath Ulla Shariff and Abdul Sajid Pasha Madari at Mahadevapura Sub-Registrar’s Office on June 14, 2019. On the same day, at the same Sub-Registrar’s Office, Scudder signed a sale agreement with Suresh HA who agreed to purchase the same property for Rs 10,62,00,000. Again, he cancelled the sale of agreement on July 3, 2019 and the same day he signed a sale deed with Suresha HA.Meanwhile, Paramesh V, also known as Belthur Paramesh, sent a memorandum to the Director General & Inspector General of Police Neelamani Raju, Regional Commissioner, and Inspector General of Stamps and Registration seeking action against the land mafia for grabbing late Scudder’s land by producing fake documents.“The land belongs to a retired Air Vice Marshal who is no more. We do not have information about his family but the land mafia had created fake documents to grab the land. I want the government to take over the land and either hand it over to late Scudder’s kith and kin or allocate it for civic amenities,” said Paramesh.(The guidance value in the area is around Rs 5,000 per square foot but the market value ranges from Rs 20,000-Rs 25,000 per square foot. Scudder owned around 36,000 sq ft which means the property is currently worth Rs 90 crore.)Umesh Gowda, a relative of Suresha HA, has confessed that two agreements of sale and one sale deed are fake.“We received a legal notice from late Scudder’s son from Chennai when the construction work began at the site. Later, we visited Chennai and got the sale deed from Scudder’s son through Chennai High Court,” claimed Umesh Gowda.Invoking Whitefield Sub Division Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Krishnappa’s name, Umesh Gowda had said that he wanted to file a police complaint against a few so-called social activists for making false allegations.“I am planning to file a complaint against such social activists. I have already approached the ACP for this purpose,’’ he said.According to the documents given by Umesh Gowda to this correspondent, Fredrick Van Allen Scudder died on September 4, 2002 at The Guest Hospital in Chennai. The document issued by the Corporation of Chennai claimed the permanent address of Scudder as 4/1, Appa Gardens, Taylors Road, Kilpauk, Chennai 600 010.However, the agreement of sale and sale deed claimed the permanent address of Frederick Van Allen Scudder as 1st Cross of 3rd Main, Devasandra near Venu Gopala Swamy Temple, K R Puram,560 036. The other address is Gali Number 1, Block 21, Block 3, Regar Pura, Karol Bagh, New Delhi 110005.When this correspondent visited Devasandra, it turned out that the address given in the sale deed was fake.Meanwhile, Suresha HA has claimed that LR Shivarame Gowda, former MP from Mandya, will help him. “Our leader is Mandya ex-MP Shivarame Gowda. He is capable of recovering money from those who cheated us. Now, all is okay. We have registered the property through Chennai High Court,’’ Suresha said.However, L R Shivarame Gowda has made it clear that he has no property in and around Whitefield. “I am the last person to indulge or support illegal activities,’’ Shivarame Gowda said.
