Bhoodan land scam: ED attaches Rs. 4.80 crore properties of accused

Hyderabad: Enforcement Directorate (ED), Hyderabad Zonal Office has provisionally attached immovable properties worth Rs. 4.80 Crore (approx.) under PMLA, 2002 belonging to Mohd. Munawar Khan and his wife Faiqa Taha Khan in connection with a money laundering case against Khader Unissa and others in the ongoing investigation into the selling of Bhoodan land illegally on 28, August, 2025. The attached properties are situated at Banjara Hills, Tolichowki, and Shamshabad.

ED initiated an investigation on the basis of the FIR registered by the Maheswaram Police of the Rachakonda commissionerate in January 2023 against private persons and government officials regarding the illegal sale of government land involving forgery of documents and manipulation of government revenue records.

The Anti-money laundering investigation agency probe revealed that government land/Bhoodan land situated in Survey No. 181, Nagaram Village, Maheshwaram Mandal, was falsely claimed by Khader Unissa and her son Mohd. Munawar Khan as ancestral property; that revenue records were fraudulently mutated and the land parcels were further sold to several parties in association with several middlemen. 

“These middlemen, in connivance with some government officials, forged the documents and changed the land revenue records fraudulently, resulting in de-notifying the said land from the prohibited list and its subsequent sale to some private parties,” said the ED in a statement. 

By selling government land/Bhoodan land illegally, Khader Unissa and her son Mohd. Munawar Khan illegally gained Proceeds of Crime (POC) to the tune of Rs. 6.45 Crore. The POC were further utilised by Mohd. Munawar Khan, inter alia, to acquire immovable properties in the name of his wife Faiqa Taha Khan. Further investigation is in progress.
