A number of sites sold at Yelahanka and Devanahalli are not legitimate, says survey by the state government committee.
The government has found that there is a practice of issuing form-9 and form-11 for forming the layouts and when the plot is sold, the forms are nullified in the records. It has been found that so far at least 6,000 people have been cheated to the tune of ₹400 crore.
The committee led by retired IAS officer R B Agwani has submitted a report in this regard. The findings state that land developers have joined hands with the sub-registrars to cheat people who have bought sites here.
