On 4 October, singer Lucky Ali alleged that a Bengaluru-based “land mafia” was encroaching on his farmland in Karnataka and “forcibly and illegally” entering his property at Kenchenahalli, Yelahanka. Ali shared the text of his complaint letter to the Karnataka police chief on Facebook.
In a Facebook post, Ali wrote, “My farm which is a trust property located at Kenchenahalli Yelahanka is being illegally occupied by the Bangalore land mafia by Sudheer Reddy (and Madhu Reddy). Madad who is an IAS officer in the name of Rohini Sindhuri, they are misusing state resources for their personal gains.”
According to his complaint, “land mafia” are forcibly and illegally entering his farm and not even showing the necessary documents. He claimed that his family owned the land for the last 50 years and others were trying to encroach on it.
Ali identifies Sudhir Reddy as the main person who is trying to encroach on the land. He also informed that Sudhir’s wife Rohini Sindhuri is an IAS (Indian Administrative Service) officer. According to Singer, the couple is misusing government resources for personal gain.
Ali further said that even after saying so many times, the local police is not giving him any kind of help. He also said that they are the ones helping the infiltrators. The musician also expressed concern about his family and young children who are themselves stranded at the farm.
Ali said, ‘My family and small children are alone on the farm.’ He further said that he could not meet the state police chief before leaving for Dubai, where he is currently on work. “I am not getting any help from the local police who are actually supporting the encroachers and are indifferent to our situation and the legal status of our land.”
Lucky Ali urged the police to intervene and assist him ahead of his final court hearing on 7 December.
