Both along with other staff members were accused of executing registered sale deeds by levying low stamp duty rates instead of prescribed rates by the district collector for particular areas, causing losses of revenue.

Cases of cheating and criminal conspiracy were registered against the duo, SSP Barnala Surjit Singh said.
