Madhya Pradesh: 50 property records found in his name, Khandwa revenue official suspended
In Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa district, more than 50 properties were discovered recorded under the name of revenue official Rajesh Mandloi and his wife Manisha, sparking suspensions and investigations. The revelation emerged as villagers scrutinized property records prepared under the MP government's Swamitva land-rights scheme. Mandloi, previously a patwari in Kolgaon, was suspended immediately upon the Naib Tehsildar of the Jawar revenue circle reporting the irregularities.
The 51 properties, primarily public spaces like village courtyards and open areas, included three in Mandloi's wife's name. The discovery of the properties coincided with the release of the Swamitva list, prompting a revenue inquiry that found the entries were made deliberately. District officials expressed concern over how the disputed entries bypassed verification stages during record preparation.
