In a shocking case of fraud, a mother-son duo from Ferozepur, Punjab, allegedly orchestrated the illegal sale of a World War II-era airstrip in 1997. The airstrip, which played a significant role during the war and was later used by the Indian Air Force (IAF) in three major conflicts, was reportedly sold using forged documents. The fraudulent transaction involved collusion with local revenue officials, raising serious concerns about corruption and oversight in land dealings. The Punjab and Haryana High Court has taken decisive action by ordering an investigation into the matter. Following a thorough probe by the Vigilance Bureau, an FIR has been filed against Usha Ansal and Naveen Chand, the accused individuals. The investigation confirmed that the land in question is owned by the Indian Air Force, highlighting the gravity of the offense. This case underscores the challenges faced by authorities in safeguarding public assets and ensuring accountability among officials. The court’s intervention aims to bring justice and prevent similar incidents in the future. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for land management policies and anti-corruption measures in India.
