**Union Minister Faces Investigation Over Land Fraud Allegations**
A court has initiated an investigation into Union Minister of State for External Affairs Kirtivardhan Singh, his personal secretary Rajesh Singh, and three others due to allegations of fraudulent land dealings and intimidation of a complainant. The Special Judge of the MP-MLA Court, Apeksha Singh, issued the order on Wednesday, following a petition from Ajay Singh, a resident of Bhitora village.
Ajay Singh claims that Kirtivardhan Singh, along with Rajesh Singh and individuals named Pinku, Sahdev Yadav, and Kanti Singh, executed a land deed for 16 decimals of land owned by his wife, Manisha Singh. This deed was allegedly backdated and executed on three-year-old stamp paper, raising serious legal concerns.
The complaint also indicates that a case was initially filed in 2024 but was reportedly closed due to political pressure. However, the court’s recent order has mandated the reopening of the investigation. Ajay Singh further alleges that Rajesh Singh retaliated by pursuing legal action against him and his wife, and claims that the minister, through his secretary, is pressuring them to settle the matter. Singh asserts that he and his family have received threats of violence if they do not comply.
In light of the court’s directive, legal proceedings are set to commence against all five individuals implicated in the case. Rajesh Singh has acknowledged the situation and stated that he will respond after reviewing the court’s order.
