SDM in Bareilly Accused of bringing Villager to heels amid Land Dispute

In a shocking incident that has rocked Bareilly, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Mirganj faces bizarre accusations following a heated confrontation with villagers over a land encroachment dispute.

The dispute arose when aggrieved villagers visited the SDM's office to file a complaint regarding alleged land encroachments in their locality. However, their grievances were met with an unexpected and furious response from the SDM.

As per the villagers, instead of addressing their concerns, the SDM reportedly not only rejected their application but also used abusive language, further inflaming tensions. In an astonishing allegation, one villager claims that during this altercation, the SDM somehow transformed him into a rooster.

This incident has heightened tensions in the area, particularly concerning allegations of land encroachment by a Muslim community. Villagers are expressing strong anger and resentment toward the SDM, who stands accused of taking control of land designated as a cremation ground in Mandanpur village.

The case, originating from the SDM's office in Bareilly's Mirganj tehsil, has gained widespread attention, underscoring the urgency of resolving land disputes and ensuring appropriate conduct within administrative offices.
