The ₹1.42 Crore Land Fraud Case in the Khapat area of Porbandar has become a major talking point in the city, involving allegations of deception by local “strongmen” against a vulnerable resident.
The Incident: Deception Under the Guise of Inheritance
As depicted in the news image, the case centers around Rambhiben Bhuva, a resident of the Khapat area. The core of the fraud involves a valuable piece of land in Khapat worth crores of rupees.
- The Modus Operandi: The accused reportedly approached Rambhiben and convinced her to sign various documents, claiming they were necessary for the official “Varsai” (inheritance) process to transfer the land to her name.
- The Betrayal: Using these signed documents and her bank details, the accused allegedly siphoned off ₹1.42 crore intended for or related to the land transaction, leaving her financially devastated.
- The Viral Plea: Before the police took formal action, Rambhiben released a viral video on social media, tearfully pleading for justice and naming the influential people who had cheated her. This video put significant public and political pressure on the authorities.
