A complaint lodged by Dumka Singh at Chandil police station on July 23, 2023, led to charges against Chhitarmal Dhoot, Sanjay Kumar Debuka, and Nishant Dhoot for fraud, extortion, and violations of the Harijan Act.
Chhitarmal Dhoot, a resident of Jugsalai Old Basti Road, and his son Nishant are key accused in this case.

The complaint details how the accused deceitfully registered land worth Rs 2 crore, initially paying Rs 50,000 as advance to Dumka Singh’s illiterate brother, Ganesh Singh.
The incident dates back to March 15, 2021, when the accused allegedly threatened the landowner and began construction on the disputed land on May 26.
