There was approximately 13 bigha of land belonging to Pervez Musharraf's brother and family.

New Delhi: The name of former President of Pakistan and his family has now been permanently erased from government records of Kotana village. Thirteen bigha of the declared agricultural land of Pervez Musharraf’s relatives has been registered in the names of buyers after the auction. As a result, the names of Pervez Musharraf and his family members have been completely removed.

There was approximately 13 bigha of land belonging to former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf’s brother and family in Kotana village. Years ago, after all family members moved to Pakistan, this land was declared enemy property. Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh took cognizance of this, and several months ago, the enemy property was auctioned off by the Custodian Office in Lucknow. It was purchased for 1.38 crore rupees by contractor Pankaj and Manoj Goyal from Baraut city, along with JK Steel from Ghaziabad.

Supervisor Prashant Saini from the Enemy Property Custodian Office in Lucknow reached the Baraut Tehsil, where buyers registered the transfer of the related land in their names. After the transfer, the actual owners of this land became Pankaj Contractor, Manoj Goyal, and JK Steel from Ghaziabad. In this way, the name of Pervez Musharraf’s family has been completely eliminated from this land.

SDM Baraut Manish Kumar Yadav stated that the enemy property auctioned in Kotana has now had its buyers register the transfer in their names.

It is noteworthy that Pervez Musharraf’s father Musharrafuddin and mother Begum Zareen were residents of Kotana village. Both got married in Kotana. They moved to Delhi in 1943, where Pervez Musharraf and his brother Dr. Javed Musharraf were born. His family settled in Pakistan during the partition in 1947.

The enemy property was registered, but besides Delhi, the family’s mansion and agricultural land were located in Kotana village, where Pervez Musharraf’s land was sold while his brother Dr. Javed Musharraf and other family members’ agricultural land remained. Additionally, the mansion in Khotana was registered in the name of his cousin Humayun. The land of Pervez Musharraf’s brother Dr. Javed Musharraf and other family members was registered as enemy property.
