A preliminary enquiry was initiated at Crime Branch Kashmir, Srinagar. During the course of enquiry, it was established that the land broker Nazir Ahmad Dar got the said land mutated under mutation No. 9615 but the same plot of land under Khasra No. 1612 was sold to another person namely Altaf Ahmad Wani @ Chowdary R/O Hari Singh High Street Srinagar by executing another sale deed in the Court thereby executing two sale deeds for one and the same plot of land.
