LAHORE: Lahore Police has intensified its action against alleged land grabbers, with DIG Operations Lahore Faisal Kamran urging people whose houses, plots or land have been illegally occupied to approach police with complete documents and evidence.
In a public video message, Faisal Kamran addressed citizens who may have lost possession of their property during the past few months or are currently facing an attempt to occupy it.
He asked affected people not to remain silent and to take their complaints directly to their relevant police station or his office.
Bring Property Documents and Evidence, Says DIG Operations
The DIG Operations advised complainants to bring complete ownership documents and any available evidence that could help police establish the facts of their case.
The Lahore Qabza Group Crackdown is particularly aimed at complaints where people allege that influential individuals or organised groups are attempting to take control of property through pressure, intimidation or other unlawful means.
Faisal Kamran said applications would be examined and legal action initiated where the complaint and available evidence establish grounds for police intervention.
He also assured citizens that police would take steps, within the law, to protect the rights of legitimate property owners.
Houses, Plots and Land Included in Complaints
The message covers different forms of immovable property, including residential houses, plots and land.
Residents who believe their property has recently been occupied, or who fear an ongoing attempt to seize it, have been encouraged to contact police without unnecessary delay.
For complainants, having clear ownership and possession records can be crucial. Documents relating to ownership, transfer or allotment, along with photographs, videos, messages or other relevant evidence, may help authorities assess the nature of a complaint.
Property Complaints Under Greater Focus in Lahore
Property disputes and allegations of illegal occupation have emerged as an important area of public concern in Lahore, while direct access to senior police officers through open courts and digital complaint channels has also received increased attention in recent weeks.
Faisal Kamran has been personally hearing public complaints involving property, fraud, threats and other disputes, with relevant police officers being directed to proceed according to law.
The latest message gives particular attention to citizens who believe they have been unable to protect their property because the opposing side is more influential or organised.
Police Action Will Depend on Legal Verification
Not every dispute over a house, plot or land automatically constitutes a criminal land-grabbing case. Ownership disagreements can also involve civil proceedings, inheritance claims or competing property documents.
Police action will therefore depend on the circumstances of each complaint and verification of the documents and evidence submitted.
Where allegations involve forcible occupation, intimidation, fraud, threats or other suspected criminal conduct, the matter can be examined for action under the applicable law.
Message to Lahore Property Owners
The latest announcement sends a direct message to property owners across Lahore: people facing alleged illegal occupation should document their case and approach police rather than surrendering their claim because of pressure from an influential individual or group.
Faisal Kamran has maintained that complaints backed by evidence will be acted upon and that lawful property rights will be protected through legal proceedings.
The ongoing Lahore Qabza Group Crackdown will now be closely watched to see how effectively individual complaints are investigated and how quickly verified cases move towards resolution.
