Bollywood actor Chandrachur Singh has filed an FIR against seven people in connection with a long-running dispute over his family’s ancestral property in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. The actor has alleged that a will belonging to his grandfather was forged, allegedly depriving his late father of his rightful share in the family inheritance.
The complaint was filed at Rorawar police station in Aligarh. According to the allegations, the case involves Chandrachur’s aunt Gaytri Devi, two cousins and four other people. Singh has alleged that his grandfather, Thakur Harender Pal Singh, was seriously ill in 1997 and was not in a condition to sign legal documents when the disputed will was allegedly prepared.
Allegations of Forged Will
At the centre of the dispute is the alleged forgery of the grandfather’s signature. Chandrachur Singh claims that the signature was copied onto a will that subsequently affected the inheritance rights of his father, Captain Baldev Singh.
According to the actor’s complaint, his father was not present in Aligarh when the alleged will was executed. Singh has further alleged that other family members were involved in preparing the disputed document and that the will was later used as the basis for controlling parts of the family’s ancestral property.
Dispute Over Ancestral Land and Haveli
The property dispute reportedly centres on ancestral land and a historic family estate in Jalalpur village on the outskirts of Aligarh. Singh has alleged that a substantial portion of the valuable properties covered by the disputed will was subsequently transferred or sold over the years.
Reports have also described the property as the family’s historic ancestral haveli, known as the Jalalpur Estate. The dispute had previously reached the district administration, with Chandrachur Singh and his family seeking official intervention over alleged attempts to take control of the property.
Family Member Rejects Allegations
The allegations have been disputed by family members. Gaytri Devi had previously rejected Chandrachur Singh’s claims as false and maintained that the will was genuine. The allegations made in the FIR remain allegations at this stage and have not been established in court.
Singh has said that he has collected evidence to support his allegations. Following the registration of the FIR, he also recorded his statement with the police.
Police Investigation Underway
Police have registered the case and begun investigating the allegations. Authorities are expected to examine the disputed will, signatures and other property-related documents as part of the investigation. The outcome will depend on the evidence collected and the findings of the investigation.
The property dispute adds another chapter to a matter that has been ongoing for some time. Chandrachur Singh, known for films such as Maachis, Josh and Kya Kehna, has continued to pursue legal and administrative avenues in an effort to resolve the dispute over his family’s ancestral assets.
