NIMS Official Embroiled in Land Scam Case
The case against Dr N Lakshmi Bhaskar and G. Siddaiah is a complex one, involving allegations of cheating, conspiracy, and criminal intimidation. As the investigation unfolds, it is likely that more details will emerge about the circumstances surrounding the alleged land scam, and the actions of the accused will be subject to intense scrutiny.
A city court in Hyderabad has ordered the registration of a case against Dr N Lakshmi Bhaskar, Deputy Superintendent of NIMS Hospital, and G. Siddaiah, former president of Sri Venkateswara Co-operative House Building Society, for allegedly duping a doctor into buying a plot of land for Rs 2.7 crore that was later declared illegal.
The complainant, Dr Vietla Sree Ramulu, claimed he was misled by the accused who assured him the land was available at a discounted rate due to a distressed sale. Despite presenting evidence, police initially refused to register an FIR, prompting the complainant to approach the court. The court directed the police to file an FIR under sections of the BNSS 2023, including cheating, conspiracy, and criminal intimidation.
The case has been filed under BNS provisions, and an investigation is underway. The Hyderabad police have booked NIMS Deputy Superintendent Dr Nori Lakshmi Bhaskar for allegedly cheating another doctor, Dr V Sree Ramulu, of several crores and issuing threats. The complainant seeks a thorough investigation and chargesheet against the accused to prevent further victimization and uphold the rule of law.
The development highlights the importance of ensuring that those in positions of authority are held accountable for their actions, and that the law is applied equally to all individuals, regardless of their professional or social status. The outcome of the investigation and any subsequent legal proceedings will be closely watched, as they will have significant implications for the accused and the broader community.
