An FIR has been filed against several individuals, including bank officials and a former additional district magistrate, concerning a high-stakes Rs 400 crore land scam in Kanpur Dehat.
This controversy arose from alleged financial misdeeds linked to land allocations intended for a thermal power plant in the Bhognipur area.
