Police Raids Target “Lady Don” Koneti Sulochana Over Alleged Multi-Crore Land Grab in Madanapalle
9/7/2026, 9:39:07 PM
The Raids and Immediate Findings
Police in Madanapalle, Annamayya district, executed coordinated searches of the residence of Koneti Sulochana and her brother Srinivasulu on Saturday, extending into early Sunday. Acting on a court-issued warrant after a public complaint by Marpu Venkatesh Naidu, three special teams led by Deputy Superintendent Buchiraj entered the properties. Sulochana was not present; she was reported to be in Vijayawada.
Police seized about 50 property-related documents and 15 old blank bond papers alleged to bear forged signatures. The material has been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory for examination. A list of seized items was handed to Sulochana’s children.
Background and Allegations
Koneti Sulochana, a former daily-wage agricultural labourer, has been described in local media as a self-styled “Lady Don.” She runs a real-estate business that police allege functions as a land-mafia network. Victims say she offers loans, then pressures borrowers to sign blank bond papers, later using those documents to claim ownership of their lands.
The complaint accuses Sulochana of illegally acquiring 47 cents of land valued at roughly INR10 crore through a forged Power of Attorney. The transaction was recorded as a gift deed in the former minister’s wife’s name on June 13 2023. Police records also list a building and a 502-square-yard plot in Bandikammameedapalle valued at about INR60 crore, and a 1.75-acre parcel in Ponnutipalyam, both registered in her name.
Data and Statistics
- Documents seized: ~50 property files, 15 blank bond papers.
- Land values implicated: INR10 crore (47 cents), INR60 crore (502 sq yd plot), plus 1.75 acres.
- Criminal cases: 14 pending cases across Madanapalle police stations, including a rowdy-sheet.
Official Statements and Responses
Police emphasized that the operation followed a legally sanctioned warrant and was based on the victim’s complaint. Local authorities have not issued a public comment beyond confirming the existence of the pending cases.
Local Perspectives
Residents reported that Sulochana’s house was guarded by bouncers and that intimidation tactics were used against alleged victims. Several individuals have lodged complaints alleging coercion and threats to secure control over valuable properties, reinforcing police claims of a broader intimidation network.
Conflicting Reports and Gaps
All consulted sources consistently report the number of seized documents, the involvement of 14 criminal cases, and the registration date of June 13 2023. No substantive discrepancies were identified. The forensic analysis of the seized documents, which could confirm forged signatures and clarify the extent of alleged fraud, remains pending, leaving a critical evidentiary gap.
What’s Next
The Forensic Science Laboratory’s examination of the seized documents is expected to determine the authenticity of the signatures and the validity of the property transactions. Findings will shape subsequent legal actions, including potential charges related to forgery, land fraud, and intimidation.
