PORVORIM: Porvorim Police have registered a case after a local resident alleged that a senior couple sold their property while concealing an ongoing access-road dispute, causing loss to the buyer.
Complainant Siddhesh Naik, 35, of Vijay Nagar, Porvorim, filed the complaint on November 29 at 6:55 pm, stating that the incident pertains to a property transaction dated October 19, 2023 at TNK, Porvorim.
According to the complaint, Prakash Arlekar (73) and Sunita Arlekar (68), residents of Porvorim, sold land bearing Survey Nos. 184/3 and 183/4 at Penha de França, Bardez, measuring 1,424 sq. m, to Vipin Goyal of Mysuru, Karnataka.
It is alleged that the accused couple, acting with common intention, intentionally failed to disclose in the sale deed that a case related to an access road for the property was already pending before the Inspector of Survey and Land Records, Mapusa.
The complaint further states that Prakash Arlekar later informed the Survey Inspector that he would maintain a 4.5-metre-wide access road through the sold property without the knowledge or permission of the buyer, thereby allegedly causing loss to Goyal.
PSI Sitaram Malik of Porvorim Police Station is conducting the investigation.
