District Council Chairperson Naina Kumari has alleged that 22 acres of government land in Gaya were illegally registered in the names of 230 people between 2018 and 2022, prompting calls for an investigation.
Gaya district officials have been alerted to a possible large‑scale land fraud involving a 22‑acre parcel of state‑owned land. District Council Chairperson Naina Kumari claimed that, over a four‑year period from 2018 to 2022, the land was illegally entered into the revenue register, resulting in 230 individuals being listed as owners.
The allegation, reported by local media, suggests that the registration process was manipulated to create fictitious titles, effectively converting public land into private holdings without proper authorization. Kumari has demanded a thorough inquiry by the district administration and relevant state agencies to uncover the mechanisms behind the alleged irregularities.
Authorities have not yet commented on the specifics of the case, and no official investigation has been launched at the time of reporting. The matter is expected to attract scrutiny, given the scale of the purported fraud and its implications for public land management in Bihar.
