FATORDA: Fatorda Police have registered a case following a complaint by Alvaro Gregorio Boni Antao of Chandor, alleging that his late father was deceived and his family property fraudulently sold through a forged power of attorney.
According to the complaint, on 11 December 2019 at the Office of the Civil-cum-Sub Registrar in Margao, accused Antonio Antao of Chandor impersonated the complainant and, acting in furtherance of a common object with Candito Andre Kennedy D’Costa of Guirdolim and Francisco Fernandes, allegedly misled the complainant’s father, Ferdinando Antao, during a late-night visit to his residence. Antonio allegedly posed as Ferdinando’s son and obtained his signature on a forged power of attorney, which was then executed before a notary. Police further stated that Antonio fraudulently presented the forged document before the Sub Registrar in Margao and executed a sale deed for the complainant’s father’s immovable property. The land was subsequently sold to Pascoal Antonio Magno Antao and Alvito Florencio Antao, both of Chandor, causing wrongful loss to the complainant, who is the legal heir. Further investigation has been entrusted to PSI Satvashil Devidas of Fatorda Police Station.
