Subdistrict chief gets two years jail

TANGERANG: Tangerang District Court sentenced a subdistrict
chief to two years imprisonment on Tuesday for falsifying the
thumb print of a local in March this year.

Presiding judge Satria U.S. Gumay said that defendant Abdul
Nurjaya bin Mursin, 40, chief of Kiara Payung subdistrict, Paku
Haji district of Tangerang, was guilty of counterfeiting a thumb
print in a land document, in an attempt to sell a 6,000 square
meter plot of land belonging to Naimah.

According to prosecutor Iwa Kusuma, the defendant sold the
land for Rp 18 million to Ajat Sudrajat, an official at Tangerang
Educational Agency who planned to construct a school building on
the property.

When construction of the school building began, Naimah was
surprised to learn that Sudrajat claimed he had bought the land
since she had never sold the plot to any other party. -- JP
