NDA legislator named in 10 FIRs as Muzaffarpur ‘land-grab’ probe widens

In Muzaffarpur, Bihar, a retired government official has accused LJP (RV) MLA Amit Kumar Ranu of fraudulently transferring 70 decimals of his ancestral land using forged documents, according to prosecutors. The incident is part of a widening probe into forcible demolition of houses and boundary walls in an effort to grab land. Another woman claimed that her husband's land was registered in the names of Ranu, his brother Sonu Kumar alias Abhinav, and two others using forged documents.

Six rooms in her house were demolished and the land forcibly occupied. So far, 28 FIRs have been registered across various police stations, with seven people arrested and a bulldozer seized. Ranu maintains his innocence, claiming the disputed land does not belong to him or his family.
