Solan, Apr 28
A Daily Diary Report (DDR) has been registered at Solan Sadar police station against a senior district administration officer, raising serious allegations of benami land transactions, misuse of official position and financial irregularities.
According to the General Diary entry dated April 27, 2026, the complaint seeks investigation into alleged violations under Section 118 of the Himachal Pradesh Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, along with provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
The report names the serving Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Solan and her husband, accusing them of being involved in questionable land transactions routed through third parties.
As per details in the DDR (page 1), the complaint highlights a land purchase in Mohal Thudo area where around 12 bighas were reportedly acquired at a declared value of Rs 39 lakh, while the actual market value is alleged to be significantly higher—estimated to exceed ₹10 crore. The transaction is suspected to have been executed in the name of proxy buyers, raising concerns of benami ownership.
Further, the complaint alleges financial routing through bank transactions, including transfers from accounts linked to the officer’s family to individuals in whose names the land was registered. The DDR also claims that multiple transactions were carried out while related revenue proceedings were pending before the SDM’s own court (page 2).
The complainant has urged authorities to initiate a vigilance inquiry, seize relevant financial records, and register a formal FIR. It also calls for scrutiny of permissions granted under Section 118 during the officer’s tenure and alleges a broader pattern of administrative misuse.
Police officials confirmed that the DDR has been entered and the matter is under preliminary examination. No official statement has yet been issued by the officer concerned.
