The shocking murder of woman MRO Vijaya Reddy in Abdullapurmet on Hyderabad city outskirts by setting her ablaze right in her office in the broad daylight on Monday is learnt to be the result of greed for money and land of few bigwigs of ruling TRS.
Revenue employees put the blame on a minister and an MLA hailing from erstwhile Ranga Reddy district.
It’s a known fact that there is huge realty boom on city outskirts.
Lands on city outskirts cost few crores of rupees per acre.
With this political bigwigs in nexus with land mafia and local revenue staff attempt to grab valuable lands from others.
Revenue staff say in Abdullapurpet mandal, there are several Inam lands that were gifted by Nizam ruler to few persons for the services rendered by them.
Such Inam lands can be registered in the name of those who are in possession after conducting thorough inquiry whether these lands or Inam lands or not or whether the people who are in possession of those lands were genuine or not.
MRO has the power to conduct the inquiry, registere lands and issue pattadar passbooks for Inam lands.
However, Inam lands were encroached by others over the years and they changed several hands later.
In this backdrop, it is learnt that Suresh, who set MRO ablaze and his relatives have approached a minister and an MLA of ruling TRS seeking registration of Inam lands over an extent of 45 acres on their names.
The minister and MLA is alleged to have taken Rs 25 lakh bribe from them promising regularisation of Inam lands three years ago.
However, the minister and MLA failed to do so and returned Rs 15 lakh to Suresh and his family members saying that it’s not possible to regularise lands as woman MRO officer was very strict.
Though Suresh’s relatives withdrawn attempts for regularisation, Suresh did not leave the issue there. He started making rounds to MRO office regularly and met MRO seeking regularisation. He used to have heated arguments with MRO after she rejected his request.
Suresh felt that MRO was obstructing regularisation and developed grudge against her. He became a psycho and decided to take revenge against MRO with a feeling that she was denying him ownership on 7 acres land which costs several crores of rupees.
He again visited MRO office on Monday with a petrol can in his hand, locked the office room from inside in which MRO was working, had a heated argument with her on regularisation. The MRO made it clear that regularisation was not possible and in a fit of rage he poured petrol on MRO and set her ablaze.
Revenue staff allege that the greed of minister and MLA from TRS has led to murder of innocent and young lady MRO.
