Morena (Madhya Pradesh): In a joint action by police and revenue department officials, four members of a notorious gang accused of issuing fake registries of land and plots have been arrested from Madhya Pradesh's Morena district on Friday. The main accused, though, is still at large.

Police have seized 40 fake registries, 20 seals, and a typewriter, along with the register of the Sub-Registrar office, from the spot.

Today, on the instructions of the Collector, Tehsildar Kuldeep Dubey, along with the Kotwali police, visited the spot. During the raid, the police surrounded the house of some Bhadauria in Dixit Gali. When they entered the house, four people were discovered working in a room. After taking them into custody, the police searched the room and found 40 fake registries, 20 seals, the sub-registrar office register for the year 2014, and a typewriter. The police confiscated the recovered goods and took the accused with them to the police station.

'Disciples' Spill The Beans

On being strictly interrogated in the lockup, one of the accused told the police about their leader, Sanju, alias Lakshmi Narayan Kulshrestha. He said that all the people that have been arrested work for Sanju. Police are yet to catch Sanju.
