* Identified as a key accused in multiple fraud cases; crucial evidence uncovered across seven cases.
* Rs 4.11 crore scam involving 11 housing loan transactions brought to light; accused remanded to judicial custody.
Secunderabad, Trinet News, September 2: Keesara police have arrested A9 Mohammed Yusuf-ur-Rahman, the former Sub-Registrar of Keesara, on charges of facilitating fake real estate documents and fraudulent registrations. Police stated that crucial evidence regarding his role has emerged during the investigation of multiple property fraud cases registered within the Malkajgiri commissionerate limits.
His role has reportedly come to light in crime numbers 723/2021, 714/2025, 419/2025, 241/2025, 195/2023, 84/2026, and 928/2025. Malkajgiri Zone DCP Ch. Sridhar revealed these details to the media during a press conference held at the Malkajgiri DCP office in Secunderabad.
The DCP stated that as part of the investigation, police found that registrations were executed using fake, fabricated, and manipulated real estate documents, which were then used for subsequent property transactions and housing loans. Specifically, in Crime No. 928/2025, an organized fraud was uncovered where financially distressed individuals were used as borrowers to obtain loans from banks and housing finance companies based on fake property documents. Investigation revealed that approximately Rs 4.11 crore has been siphoned off through 11 fraudulent housing loan transactions so far.
Police discovered that several suspicious sale deeds were registered during his tenure as the Keesara Sub-Registrar. These documents were subsequently submitted to banks as title and security papers to secure loans. The investigation into the former sub-registrar's role is ongoing, based on registration records, disputed sale deeds, GPA and AGPA documents, thumb impression records, witness statements, and disclosures made by other accused individuals.
Police took Yusuf-ur-Rahman into custody for questioning at 6 PM on September 1. Based on his disclosures, copies of registration records related to the cases and other key documentary evidence were seized from his residence. He was subsequently arrested in accordance with the law and produced before the court in the seven related cases, where he was remanded to judicial custody, police said.
The investigation revealed that in the housing loan fraud case, the accused obtained loans using fake documents and paid EMIs for some time to avoid arousing suspicion from banks. When the EMIs were eventually stopped, banks inspected the properties and uncovered irregularities such as non-existent properties, manipulated survey and plot numbers, and the use of forged link documents.
Investigations are continuing into the arrest of remaining accused, the identification of crime proceeds and assets, and further fraudulent transactions. Police advised the public to thoroughly verify titles, link documents, survey numbers, and plot numbers at the concerned revenue and sub-registrar offices before purchasing real estate or taking housing loans. They urged citizens to report any information regarding suspicious transactions or fake documents to the nearest police station or by dialing 100.
This investigation is being conducted by Keesara Inspector Arkapally Anjaneyulu, SI S. Anil Kumar, and their staff, under the supervision of Malkajgiri CP B. Sumathi IPS and the guidance of Jawaharnagar ACP S. Chakrapani.
