| You've been warned: CCTV grab of goons allegedly sent by the local land mafia, visiting the Gupta household. |
Dr Arun Gupta, 59, and Dr Ashok Gupta, 61, live in bungalow number F 14/57 in northwest Delhi's Model Town. The house was bought by their father Krishnanand Gupta in 1964.
But in 2002, members of the local land mafia allegedly sold their house to an unknown buyer with fake documents. And then began a series of visits by musclemen.
"They came to our house for the first time in 2002. About five people threatened my mother Kanti Devi to vacate the house at the earliest. My mother suffered a heart attack and passed away three days later," Dr Arun Gupta, a practising physician, told MiD DAY.u00a0
He alleged that the local cops did not register his complaint and instead told him to "be patient". The warnings and visits stopped for some time in 2008 but resumed after a month.
"We were so scared that we had to install CCTVs in our house and clinic for the safety of our family and also because we wanted to gather evidence against the goons," Dr Arun Gupta said.
The CCTV footage, copy of which is available with MiD DAY, clearly shows a number of instances where musclemen visit the Gupta household.

We will submit the report as soon as possible," a senior police official said, requesting anonymity. How do you like the new new mid-day.com experience? Share your feedback and help us improve.
