Bhubaneswar, July 6: The state government today suspended Balangir tehsildar Maghban Bag, additional tehsildar Harekrushan Rout in connection with a land fraud scam. The state government suspended both the officers after getting a report from the district collector.

Several cases of land fraud were reported against the tehsildar and other officials. Police said that in one reported case, a patch of land belonging to one Harsha Sandha, who died long ago, was allegedly sold illegally after his death to a buyer named Labani Prusty. The land measuring 1.5 acres is located behind Adarsh Vidyalaya in Dhumamara mouza under Sadar police limits in the district. The fabricated land documents allegedly contain the digital signatures of Bag. Forged Records of Rights (pattas) have also been made for the lands.
