His brother, Abhimanyu Singh, has alleged that a forged will was prepared, revenue records were allegedly manipulated and attempts were made to take possession of land worth crores of rupees and the family’s ancestral mansion.
The FIR was registered at Roravar police station on the basis of Abhimanyu Singh’s complaint. The complaint alleges that a purportedly forged will was prepared, changes were allegedly made to revenue records and attempts were made to claim rights over the family’s ancestral properties. Chandrachur Singh and his brother Abhimanyu Singh visited the Jalalpur police outpost in Aligarh on Saturday and recorded their statements in the matter.

Police have registered the case and begun an investigation. The allegations made in the complaint have not been independently verified, and the position of the people named in the FIR remains to be established during the investigation.
Property Dispute Linked to Jalalpur Estate
According to Abhimanyu Singh, his family has historically owned ancestral land spread across Jalalpur and several surrounding villages in Aligarh. The properties include the mansion of the historic Jalalpur Estate, which is said to have been built around 1870.
The family claims that the mansion and the land associated with it form part of its ancestral property. Abhimanyu Singh has alleged that some family members and outsiders purportedly attempted to claim rights over these properties by manipulating documents.
He said a civil case concerning the property was already pending before a civil court. The family has now filed a criminal case with the police over the allegations of fraud and manipulation of documents.
Family’s Claims Regarding the Property
The complaint submitted to the police by the family states that it owns several ancestral properties in Jalalpur and surrounding areas. Abhimanyu Singh has alleged that a purportedly forged will was used to strengthen claims over these properties.
According to the family, the will was prepared one day before the death of their grandfather. They said their grandfather died in 1997. Abhimanyu Singh has alleged that the purported will was used in an attempt to transfer rights over valuable land in the names of certain people.
The authenticity of the will and the validity of any alleged transfer based on it will have to be determined through the investigation and judicial process. Police are currently investigating the allegations contained in the complaint.
Allegations of Revenue Record Manipulation
Abhimanyu Singh has also alleged that changes were made to revenue records relating to the land on the basis of the purported will. He claims that names and other details were allegedly altered in records maintained at the tehsil level.
The family has further alleged that, following these changes, some of the land was allegedly sold over several years. The complaint also refers to alleged collusion involving some government employees and officials.
These allegations have not been independently verified. Police may examine the documents, revenue records and papers relating to ownership of the properties. If the investigation establishes any irregularity, the role of the individuals concerned will be determined.
Family Claims It Received Information Late While Living in Mumbai
Abhimanyu Singh said his family has been living in Mumbai for a long time. According to him, because the family lived away from Aligarh, it allegedly did not receive complete information in time about changes and transactions involving its ancestral properties.
He said that after the family learned about the property dispute and alleged fraud, it sought legal advice and began collecting documents. The family said it had been gathering evidence related to the matter for some time.
Abhimanyu Singh said the family has now engaged its legal team in the case. According to him, documents and other records relating to the properties are being examined.
Dispute Intensified After Uncle’s Death
According to the family, Chandrachur Singh’s uncle, Ganga Singh, lived in Sweden for a long period before later moving to the ancestral mansion in Jalalpur. Ganga Singh died in October 2025.
The family said that after his death, the dispute over the ancestral property, the mansion and land associated with the trust intensified. Differences subsequently emerged among family members over rights to the property and alleged possession.
Abhimanyu Singh has alleged that his uncle’s family claimed rights over the mansion and land. Questions regarding the purported will and revenue records arose amid this dispute.
Matter Was First Taken to Civil Court
According to Abhimanyu Singh, the family had initially approached a civil court over the property dispute. Legal proceedings concerning ownership rights and the related dispute were already underway there.
The family has now approached the police over the alleged criminal aspects of the matter. Seven people have been named in the complaint. The names are said to include family members, a foreign national, two witnesses and a lawyer.
Police will examine what documents and other evidence are available in support of the allegations. The investigation may also examine the authenticity of the purported will, land records and transactions involving the property.
FIR Registered Against Seven People
According to the police complaint, Chandrachur Singh’s aunt Gayatri Devi Singh and six other people have been named in the FIR. The family has alleged that those named were allegedly involved in preparing purportedly forged documents and attempting to take possession of the property.
The allegations against all the people named in the complaint remain subject to investigation. Registration of an FIR does not establish the guilt of any person. The allegations can be established only through investigation and judicial proceedings.
Police are recording documents related to the case and statements from the parties involved. Further action will be based on the findings of the investigation.
