In Thane district, Maharashtra, authorities have filed a case against four individuals for allegedly falsifying documents to manipulate land acquisition compensation for a project, as reported by the police on Monday.

The incident involves the acquisition of land by the Railways in the Katai area, where the accused purportedly tampered with records, deliberately excluding a female beneficiary from the list of heirs or successors. This alteration resulted in wrongfully obtaining a compensation amounting to Rs 1.46 crore, depriving the victim of her rightful share of Rs 48.82 lakh, according to an official from the Manpada police station, operating under the Kalyan division, stated a report in PTI.
