The attachment proceedings were carried out in collaboration with the Revenue Department in respect of land measuring 06 Marlas at Daengrut Rohama and 10 Marlas at Reshinar Rohama, valued in lakhs, Police said.

The accused had been evading legal proceedings for a prolonged period despite sustained efforts and was accordingly declared a Proclaimed Offender by the Court under Section 88 CrPC. Subsequently, in compliance with the orders of the Hon’ble Court, attachment proceedings were executed after due verification through revenue records and local enquiry. The process was carried out in the presence of Revenue officials and independent witnesses after observing all codal formalities, Police said.
