FATORDA: Fatorda Police have registered a case against eight persons for allegedly conspiring to fraudulently acquire ancestral properties belonging to the estate of the late John Baptist Diniz through forged documents, false affidavits and impersonation.
The case was registered on the complaint of Royson Da Costa and Gayle Diniz, both residents of Majorda. According to the complaint, the alleged offences took place between May 21, 2024 and August 16, 2024 at the Office of the Mamlatdar, Salcete, and notary offices within Margao.
Police stated that the accused — Dyllan Robin Diniz, Melissa Aida Fernandes, Francisco Fernandes, Santosh Naik, Virendra Kumar Dessai, Cruz A.M. Fernandes, Francisca Fernandes and Rati Fernandes Nuchimamyanda — allegedly entered into a criminal conspiracy to unlawfully secure rights over ancestral properties belonging to the Diniz family estate.
As per the complaint, accused Dyllan Robin Diniz and Melissa Aida Fernandes, despite allegedly residing in the United Kingdom, submitted mutation applications containing forged signatures to have their names included in land records maintained by the Mamlatdar’s office.
It is further alleged that Santosh Naik and Virendra Kumar Dessai notarized false affidavits and supporting documents, certifying the physical presence of Dyllan Robin Diniz despite claims that he was not present in India at the relevant time.
The complaint also alleges that Dyllan Robin Diniz unlawfully obtained a marriage certificate through the Goa online portal by impersonating complainant Royson Da Costa. The accused are further alleged to have deliberately provided an incorrect address for the complainants to facilitate substituted service and conceal the proceedings, thereby cheating them.
Fatorda Police have registered the offence, and further investigation is being conducted by PSI Ramrai Naik.
