The Pantnagar police have registered an FIR against a 76-year-old woman and her two grandsons for allegedly cheating her son, a BMC supervisor, in a Rs 17 lakh property dispute in Ghatkopar East.

The complaint was filed by a 54-year-old supervisor attached to the BMC’s K-East ward and pertains to a 12x22 ft room at Ramabai Ambedkar Nagar. The complainant told police he bought the room in 1995 through an Agreement for Transfer after paying Rs 80,000 to his sister.


According to the complaint, the man moved out of the area in 2008 and allowed his mother to use the room. He alleged that during his absence, the room was split into two portions and fresh documents were created to show separate ownership. 



The complainant said he discovered the alleged forgery in 2024 while arranging funds for his mother’s cancer treatment, when one portion of the room was being sold for R17 lakh. Documents showed that part of the property had been transferred to his nephew through a gift deed.

After receiving no clear explanation from family members, the complainant approached the police. Senior Police Inspector Lata Sutar said an FIR has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and that an investigation is underway.
