Nagpur: A long-running family property dispute in Nagpur has escalated into a police case after an 83-year-old businessman and his brother were accused of secretly selling ancestral land valued at nearly Rs 20 crore.
Koradi police have registered a cheating case against Mohabbat Singh Kapoor Singh Tuli (83), associated with Tuli Public School in Bokhara, and his younger brother Ravinderpal Singh Gurulal Singh Tuli (61). The complaint was filed by their own sibling, Bachittar Singh Kapoor Singh Tuli (71), a resident of Clark Town, Jaripatka.

According to police, Tuli family owns property worth crores in Punjab and Nagpur. The land originally belonged to Kapoor Singh Dayal SinghTuli, who had five sons – Gurulal Singh, Inderjit Singh, Mohabbat Singh, Dalip Singh, and Bachittar Singh. Each son had a fixed share in the property: Gurulal 32%, Inderjit 16%, Mohabbat 16%, Dalip 16%, and Bachittar20%. As per the understanding, any decision on property matters could be taken only with the mutual consent of all heirs.
Although the family continued to jointly manage the properties for years, rising disputes forced them to opt for arbitration in 2010, leading to a formal division. A key property in this division was a four-acre plot in Mouza Bokhara, for which Mohabbat Singh held the power of attorney.
Police said Mohabbat Singh allegedly misused this authority by transferring the land to his brother Ravinderpal in January 2025, for a mere Rs 9.85 lakh, and without informing the other legal heirs. Investigators noted that the land’s current market value is close to Rs 20 crore, making the transaction highly suspicious.
Feeling deceived and financially wronged, Bachittar Singh approached Koradi police, who have now registered an offence of cheating against the two brothers. Further investigation is underway.
