Under his influence, the revenue department and the local administration started making illegal changes to the maps of the land. We took the matter to the courts, where we have seen positive results so far, as the courts have been dispensing justice, he said.

Rana appealed to the senior police officers to intervene in the matter and provide him with justice.
