According to police, on September 4, one Datti Lakshmana Rao of Venkatarajapuram of Vizianagaram district approached the police saying that in 2003, he along with two others had purchased an extent of 1,146.13 square yards and 125.86 square yards land in Survey no.249/10 at Durga Nagar, Madhurawada. He also constructed a compound wall. Since then they have been in peaceful possession of property by paying property taxes, he said.
