He has now submitted an affidavit to the Superintendent of Police (SP), stating that the land in question is government property and not associated with him.

In the affidavit, Khalid clarified that while his ancestors used to look after the land, it has now come to light that it belongs to the municipal corporation. Khalid further declared that he has no claim or connection with the land where the police post is being built.
