Properties Linked to Forged Land Deals Seized by ED in Hyderabad
(Syed Ali Taher Abedi)
Hyderabad, September 9, 2025: The Enforcement Directorate (ED), Hyderabad Zonal Office, has provisionally attached immovable assets valued at approximately ₹4.80 crore belonging to Mohd. Munawar Khan and his wife, Faiqa Taha Khan, in a major money laundering case linked to the illegal sale of government and Bhoodan lands. The attached properties are located in Banjara Hills, Tolichowki, and Shamshabad.
The ED action stalks from FIR No. 83/2023, registered at Maheswaram Police Station, which alleged large-scale fraud involving private individuals and government officials in the manipulation of land records.
According to ED findings, government land in Survey No. 181 of Nagaram village, Maheswaram mandal, was falsely claimed as ancestral property by Khader Unissa and her son, Mohd. Munawar Khan. Revenue records were allegedly tampered with, enabling the land to be illegally de-notified and sold to private parties.
Investigators revealed that the fraudulent transactions were facilitated by several middlemen in collusion with government officials, who forged documents and manipulated revenue entries. Through these illegal sales, the accused generated proceeds of crime amounting to around ₹6.45 crore.
The ED stated that Munawar Khan later invested part of these proceeds to acquire properties in his wife’s name, which have now been attached.
Further investigation into the money trail and involvement of additional persons is underway.
