The PM Palem police arrested four people in two different land grabbing cases, who have been identified as P Sanjay, P Siva Lingeswara Rao, V Sanyasi Rao and T Vidya Sagar, a senior police official said here today.
However, another accused P Jagannadham is still at large according to DCP (Law and Order, Zone-I) C M Trivikrama Varma told PTI.
He said that the accused P Sanjay encroached 388 square yards of land purchased by Sudhakar, Giri and Uma Maheswara Rao in 2010 under survey number 49/1-4, 6-8 and 27/4-8 respectively.
Allegedly, Sanjay also damaged a borewell and compound wall on the land, he said.
In another case, Ch Venkata Subbaraju, a resident of PM Palem purchased 680 square yards of land from G Rama Rao under survey number 56/2, but four people namely P Siva, P Jagannadham, V Sanyasi Rao and T Vidyasagar encroached some portion of the land, damaged its compound wall, he said.
After Subbaraju's complaint, the police found that the accused had encroached the land, he said.
