Illegal constructions of land mafia demolished in Indore

Indore Municipal Corporation demolished illegal constructions possessed by a man named Mukhtyar Khan in Radhika Kunj and Swarnabagh area in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Meanwhile, police disclosed that the accused who was recently arrested carried another allegation of torturing a minor boy regarding a false murder case.

Indore(Madhya Pradesh): Authorities demolished illegal constructions carried out by a man, who had made a minor boy lick a toilet seat to force him to bear a false witness in an attempt to murder case, on Friday.

Mukhtyar Khan, 35, had illegally built 20 tin sheds and a three-storey building and was constructing a three-storey building and three shops in Radhika Kunj and Swarnabagh area, said Indore Municipal Corporation Deputy Commissioner Mahendra Singh Chauhan.

Khan allegedly had grabbed 1.50 lakh sq foot of land in two areas, police said.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ruchivardhan Mishra said that Khan was arrested recently on the orders of a local court in connection with a case of land purchase by using bogus documents.

When Khan's mobile phone was examined, a video of him torturing a 14-year-old boy and forcing him to clean the toilet seat by tongue was found, she said.

Mishra said: "Khan and his associates were pressuring the minor to give a false statement to police that two other minor boys (both brothers) were involved in the case of his son's stabbing two months ago."

The police inquiry, however, found these boys had nothing to do with the stabbing case.

The SSP said that four persons have been arrested in the stabbing case and booked under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 307 (attempt to murder).

She further said that Khan was trying to falsely implicate the two minor boys two weeks after the FIR was filed. It has been suspected that Khan intended to extort money from the father of those boys.
