23.5 Vigha land purchased by Chelana gang as bogus farmers in Porbandar vested with government

Serious details have emerged regarding a land scam perpetrated by the notorious Chelana gang in Porbandar. According to a report by Sandesh, individuals associated with the Chelana gang purchased a total of 23.5 vigha of land in Chikasa and Gosa villages by posing as bogus farmers. Investigations revealed that this land was purchased in the name of a woman named Rupiben, who did not actually possess the eligibility to be a farmer. Following this illegal transaction of purchasing land despite not being a farmer, strict action has been taken by the administrative machinery.

After completing the investigation, the administration has vested the disputed 23.5 vigha of land with the government. Additionally, for violating the rules, a total fine of ₹84,28,314 has been imposed, calculated at three times the current jantri rate. In this entire episode, several questions have been raised regarding the suspicious role of the officials responsible during the land purchase process. Due to this action, other land dealings of the Chelana gang have once again come under scrutiny. This operation by the administration has spread panic among land mafias, and demands for further investigation into the entire matter have arisen.
