§Alleged “Rainwater Harvesting” Scheme and Artificial Lake

In an attempt to covertly convert the agricultural Property into an artificial lake under the false guise of a “Rainwater Harvesting Project,” land grabbers are alleged to have smuggled in dangerous explosives, unlawfully manufactured and used them, and caused significant damage to the Property. Criminal proceedings under the Explosives Act are reported to be pending in respect of these offences.

In addition, by sinking hundreds of bore wells into the agricultural Property, pumping out groundwater, and storing it in such a manner that the Property appears as a lake, the accused are alleged to have committed offences under the relevant environmental and groundwater‑regulation laws. These acts are said to have been carried out in collusion between the land grabbers R Baba Shankar, his wife Bhanumathi Baba Shankar, his son Rajesh Baba Shankar, then Kancheepuram District Collector Venkatesan, IAS and M.B. Nirmal of Exnora International, all acting under the banner of “Classic Farms” for “Rainwater Harvesting.” In Connection with this a Contractor named as S. Ramesh who is now Sitting MLA at Shollinganallur named as Arvind Ramesh.

The short film is annexed to the present record.

§Fraudulent Use of Court Records and Registration of FIR

For the purpose of constructing artificial lake bunds on this agricultural Property, the land grabbers are alleged to have procured the judgment and decree of the original suit concerning this property from the Hon’ble Additional Sub‑Court, Chengalpattu, through collusion and corruption. These court records were fraudulently represented as genuine and legally valid documents before the Kancheepuram District Collector, who, on the basis of such misrepresentation, issued a memorandum permitting the construction of bunds that transformed the Property into an artificial lake.

Upon discovering the fraudulent nature of the judgment and decree, the Kancheepuram District Collector sought clarification from the learned Principal District Judge, Chengalpattu, and the fraudulent character of the documents was duly confirmed. Thereafter, by virtue of Office Letter No. 5015/2010/PC1 dated 25.03.2015, the Kancheepuram District Collector forwarded the complaint to the Superintendent of Police, Kancheepuram District Crime Branch, and a criminal case was registered as Crime No. 03/2015 under Sections 466, 468, 421, and 420 of the Indian Penal Code.
