Lucknow, May 30: The Lucknow police in Uttar Pradesh have arrested two wanted suspects for allegedly plotting to seize ancestral land worth crores of rupees using forged documents.
The case was registered on December 11, 2025, by the complainant Sameer Mirza, son of the late Kaiser Mirza, a resident of Khayaliganj, Kaisarbagh police station, Lucknow. The complainant alleged that an illegal claim was being made on his ancestral land located in Amethi village, Mohanlalganj tehsil, using fake and forged documents.
During the investigation, it was found that the main accused, Mohammad Fareed Mirza, prepared forged records to present himself as the heir of the complainant’s deceased uncle, Khusru Mirza. He concealed his actual family details and created fake birth and death certificates, among other documents, to present in court and other forums. The accused even prepared a fake death certificate for his living mother, using misleading documents related to her alleged burial.
Reports from relevant departments and institutions confirmed that these records were indeed fake and forged. The investigation revealed that several other individuals were also actively involved in this conspiracy. The accused attempted to strengthen their claim on the property by portraying themselves as relatives of the complainant. They transferred funds obtained from land sale agreements into various bank accounts. Witness statements, banking transactions, and other evidence confirmed the involvement of the accused. Mohammad Fareed Mirza, Mohammad Ashfaque Mirza alias Babu Miyan, and Kaleem Khan are already imprisoned in Lucknow district jail.
In a related effort, the police were actively pursuing the arrest of the absconding wanted suspects, Furqan Ahmed Abbasi (46 years) and Abhishek Yadav (28 years). On Friday, the Mohanlalganj police team successfully apprehended both suspects near Baradari Chauraha, Kaisarbagh, Lucknow.
