Beware of property scam in Bangalore, Gangs extorting money in the name of BDA and BBMP

Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) and Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) warned citizens against scams designed to target beneficiaries of civic amenity (CA) sited and akrama sakrama

Many gangs are misusing the name of BDA and illegally collecting money from individual, organizations, and trusts which have been allotted CA sites across the city. These fraudsters tell representatives of BDA that the land is being used for commercial purposes in contravention of the rules and that allotment would be canceled if they failed to pay bribe. 

A civic amenity site is an area that has been earmarked for development of facilities for public use (such as running a hospital or home for disable. or education institutions or for religious and charitable reasons) in a private or BDA layout. According to BDA's civic amenities sites rules of 1989, 10% of land in every layout has to be reserved for civic amenities and these sites are leased for different institutions for a 30 year period. 

But with demand for land going up in Bangaluru, many beneficiaries have started using the sites for commercial purposes.  These scamsters are targeting such site owners and extorting money from them.

In the same way, some miscreants are also extorting money under the akrama sakrama scheme. Posing as BDA or BBMP officials, they say the building will be demolished as construction norms have been violated. Gullible citizens end up paying huge bribes to save their buildings. In both types of scams, the gang members have reportedly collected anywhere between R.20,000 to Rs. 10 lakh as bribe from site owners, depending on the magnitude of the violations, 

The issue came to the light when a fake letter, which was not received by a site owner, reached the BDA head office. On verifying, it was found that the authority had not sent any such notice. Preliminary investigation revealed the gangs first send notice and the next day, a person approaches the CA or akrama sakrama site, posing as BDA or BBMP representative, offering help in resolving the matter. Once the gang members collect the money, they send another fake letter stating the lease will continue or building demolition will not take place.

Recently BDA vigilance department has registerd a case and probe is under way. It is suspected that BDA insiders are involved in providing information about land and building violations to middleman and brokers to carry on the scam. 

Precaution: 

When you receive such notice from BDA or BBMP or someone approach as representative. Visit  BDA or BBMP head office for cross verification.
