SAHIWAL, Oct 19: Police on Tuesday registered a case against nine people, including a Naib Tehsildar, Qanungo and Patwari, for fraudulently transferring agricultural land in Chak 67/4-R.

Hussain and Sikandar, two farmers of the village, in connivance with Naib Tehsildar Abdul Hamid, Qanungo Malkiat Ali and Patwari Noor Kathia, got the land transferred in their name by producing Chuhran and Nooran who impersonated Sabiran and Gullan.

On appeal by the girls, the district revenue officer conducted an inquiry and ordered registration of a case against the officials and others. The case was registered under Section 419, 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the PPC with no arrest.
