Bihar Land Grab: Registry Office Records Tampered, Mafia Steals Land, FIRs Ignored

• Land mafia in Bihar, particularly Araria, is actively involved in a scam where original land documents disappear from registry office record rooms.
• Fake documents are created and used to illegally register private land, with anti-social elements having unrestricted access to these offices.
• An FIR was filed against 10 people, including two registry office staff, for tampering with records at the Araria Registry Office, but no arrests have been made.
• District Sub-Registrar Officer Kaushal Kumar Jha confirmed the scam is widespread across Bihar, not just limited to Araria.
• Despite FIRs and official acknowledgment, police inaction and lack of strict measures raise questions about who is protecting these land mafias, leaving common people's land vulnerable.

Why It Matters: Bihar's land registration system is compromised, allowing mafias to grab land with impunity, endangering common citizens' property.
