Addressing the media in Shimla, Khali alleged that the Tehsildar in the Paonta Sahib revenue department has been illegally declaring people landless by manipulating land records and preparing fake documents. He said that officials are behaving as if they are above the Constitution.

Khali said that his father had purchased 16 bighas of land from a woman in Suratpur village, Paonta Sahib, around 12 years ago, and that all valid documents related to the land are in his possession. However, he alleged that the Tehsildar had declared the land to belong to someone else and termed his family's documents as incorrect.

"The Tehsildar is arbitrarily rejecting genuine documents and is falsely claiming that the land belongs to someone else," Khali alleged, adding that this has raised serious questions over the functioning of the revenue administration.

The wrestler further accused the Tehsildar and the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of colluding. He claimed that nearly 100 people have been affected in a similar manner, with their land allegedly transferred into others' names despite many of them having lived on and earned their livelihoods from the land for years and possessing valid ownership documents.

Khali alleged that people are being evicted by declaring them ex parte or by showing their land records as belonging to some other location. "The SDM is also involved in this. The officer considers himself above the Constitution," he said.

He further alleged that the Tehsildar has amassed property worth crores in a short period, which, he said, should be thoroughly investigated.

Khali said he has sought time to meet Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and demanded a fair and impartial inquiry into the matter.

"Officials are not above the Constitution. Innocent people are being made landless through forged documents. I demand a transparent and impartial investigation," said WWE wrestler Dalip Singh Rana (The Great Khali) while addressing the media. (ANI)
