Bengaluru: Renowned Indian singer Lucky Ali has made shocking allegations against the Bengaluru land mafia, claiming that they are attempting to kill him over a longstanding land dispute.
Taking to his official social media account, Ali named several individuals, including IAS Officer Rohini Sindhuri,and her IAS husband Sudhir Reddy whom he accused of orchestrating an attempt on his life to conceal alleged land grabbing crimes.
In his detailed post, Ali implicated individuals such as Dayananda Pai, Satish Pai, Ashwin Pai, and Pavi Pai, as well as Century Builders Yeshwantpur Shenoy, Raghunath, and others. According to Ali, these figures had allegedly hired individuals like Asif Iqbal, Razwan, and local thugs, with assistance from Sudhir Reddy, Rohini Sindhuri, Madhu Reddy, and Bujjama, to carry out the attack.
He has also alleged that the Pais presented a plot to Sudhir Reddy, Bijjamma, Rohini Sindhuri and Madhu Reddy in ‘Century Artizan’ on land stole from the Trusts of Ali Estate.
The dispute in question traces back to the 1990s when Mehmood, Lucky Ali's father, passed on land acquired by him to his six children through trusts created in their names. Allegedly, in 1991, the entire parcel of land held by Mehmood's family was sold to two realtors, leading to legal disputes that persisted over the years.
Court records, as reported by the media, indicate that Mehmood Ali purchased 400 acres of land in 1969, of which approximately 220 acres were lost due to various complications. The remaining 160 acres were distributed among four trusts owned by Mehmood's children, with Lucky Ali overseeing 33 acres under one of the trusts.
Last year, during one of his concerts, Lucky Ali publicly spoke about the ongoing case, shedding light on the actions of the Bengaluru-based land mafia. He revealed that his family and children were currently residing alone on their farm in Kenchenahalli Yelahanka, Bengaluru, while he was in Dubai.
An advocate involved in the case stated that people took advantage of Mehmood Ali's poor health, fabricating transactions and causing complications. The family has been fighting against these transactions, with Lucky Ali now publicly accusing specific individuals of a sinister plot against him.

Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
