Dehradun: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has filed a charge sheet against former Uttarakhand Director General of Police (DGP) BS Sidhu and Additional Tehsildar Shujauddin Siddiqui on the charges of misuse of official position in the Rajpur forest land occupation case. The 12-year pending case began with a complaint lodged in October 2022 by the then Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) of Mussoorie, Ashutosh Singh.
Singh accused some of the officials of illegally shifting forest land in Mauja Veergirwali and fudging revenue accounts by producing false documents. The SIT, formed to investigate these serious allegations, already charged others in the case and now made major breakthroughs against Sidhu and Siddiqui, showing a well-planned drive to gain titles to the lands illegally.
