Serious allegations of fraud, forgery and criminal conspiracy in Nuh over possession of Surjivan Health Resort

Gurugram: Serious allegations of fraud, forgery and criminal conspiracy have surfaced in Nuh over the possession of Surjivan Health Resort. Legal heirs of late Smt. Alka Srivastav, her children Pravar Srivastav and Sanovar Srivastav  allege that Director of Surjivan Health Resort Pvt Ltd, Devendra Kamal Srivastav, Rohini Gambhir, Devyani Swaroop and Sudershan Gambhir have acted as fraudsters who conspired to usurp property already lawfully sold, by manufacturing an alleged forged lease deed and filing frivolous cases to block possession.

According to court filings, the heirs sold their land in Jan 2025 after completing all due diligence. Revenue checks confirmed no disputes, payments were made through banking channels, and the property were duly mutated in the bona fide buyers’ name on Jan 2025. Yet within weeks, these accused individuals dragged the legal heirs into litigation, with Devendra Kamal Srivastav claiming possession of the land on the basis of alleged forged lease deed.

At the center of the controversy is a lease extension deed dated August 2022. This document was produced in court by the accused to assert tenancy rights beyond the original lease term. Forensic experts have since determined that the signatures of late Alka Srivastav on this lease were forged. Two independent expert reports in April and May 2025 concluded the lease deed was a product of “free-hand forgery,” pointing to deliberate fabrication by the accused.

Late Alka Srivastav had executed a registered Will in 2023 expressly disinheriting her husband D K Srivastav. In prior proceedings and in her registered Will, she accused him of cruelty and misconduct, and she also filed a domestic violence case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 before the Patiala House Courts, New Delhi, citing extreme cruelty of her husband and his illicit relationship with Rohini Gambhir. Her son, Pravar, has also filed a petition before the National Company Law Tribunal alleging Devendra Kamal Srivastav of forgery, siphoning funds, and fraudulently altering directorships of the family company. It has also come to light that another case of fraud is pending against Devendra Kamal Srivastav in Parao, Ambala Cantt.

Despite a formal police complaint filed in May 2025, naming Devendra Kamal Srivastav, Rohini Gambhir, Devyani Swaroop, and Sudershan Gambhir for forgery, conspiracy, and breach of trust, no FIR has been registered even after four months.

In a 2023 civil suit, Devendra Kamal Srivastav admitted that his wife, Alka Srivastav, was the owner and that he held possession only as a tenant. Yet in 2025, after her death and the execution of her registered Will expressly disinheriting him, he shifted his stance and began alleging that the registered Will itself was fraudulent. This reversal raises suspicion that the claim is an after-thought designed to defeat legitimate sale deeds executed by her heirs.

Pravar and Sanovar say they are engaged in a battle not just to defend their mother’s legacy but also to protect rightful ownership from a criminal conspiracy. “This is a clear attempt to override a registered Will and defraud rightful heirs through forged documents,” said a person close to the heirs. Pravar added, “Forging documents and using them in court is a grave crime, not a small dispute, and one where police must act without delay. The absence of timely police action has left us feeling that fraudsters are being shielded while our mother’s rightful legacy and our legitimate ownership hang in the balance.”
