New Delhi, Dec 10: In a major land allotment fraud case dating back over three decades, a Delhi court has convicted an advocate, his wife and a former government official for creating a fictitious woman named Suman to illegally obtain a plot under a compensation scheme for farmers.

CBI investigations revealed that “Suman” never existed. Yet, a plot measuring 80 sq yards in South Delhi was allotted in her name in 1992, allegedly using forged documents submitted to the Land & Building Department.

The scam surfaced when the CBI recovered an original departmental file linked to the allotment from the residence of advocate N K Gupta. An FIR was registered soon after, naming Gupta, his wife and S S Malhi, an official of the department, as accused.
