Bollywood actor Chandrachur Singh has initiated legal action against his aunt and cousins, alleging a conspiracy to forge his grandfather's will to deprive his father of his rightful inheritance.

  • Chandrachur Singh filed an FIR against aunt Gaytri Devi, two cousins, and four others.
  • The dispute centers on a 1997 will allegedly forged while grandfather Thakur Harender Pal Singh was critically ill.
  • The actor claims the fraud was orchestrated to deny his late father, Captain Baldev Singh, his share of the estate.

In a startling turn of events, veteran actor Chandrachur Singh has approached the legal system to resolve a long-standing family dispute. The actor has lodged a formal First Information Report (FIR) at the Rorawar police station, accusing several family members of orchestrating a fraudulent scheme involving the forged will of his grandfather, Thakur Harender Pal Singh.

According to the complaint, the forgery took place in 1997. Singh alleges that at the time the disputed document was signed, his grandfather—a prominent landowner from Jalalpur on the outskirts of Aligarh—was critically ill and physically incapable of signing any legal documents. The actor contends that the signatures were fabricated to shift the ownership of substantial ancestral properties.

The FIR specifically names his aunt, Gaytri Devi, two cousins, and four other associates. Singh further alleges that his uncle, Ganga Singh, played a pivotal role in this conspiracy to ensure that his father, Captain Baldev Singh, was stripped of his legal inheritance rights.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that this case is not merely a domestic quarrel but a clash involving high-profile lineage and significant land holdings in Uttar Pradesh. The family's background is deeply rooted in public service and royalty; Captain Baldev Singh was a former MLA from Khair, and the actor's mother is the daughter of the Maharaja of Bolangir in Odisha. Such disputes often highlight the vulnerability of elderly patriarchs to document fraud within affluent families.

"Property disputes involving royal lineages and political figures often become protracted legal battles due to the sheer volume of ancestral assets and the complexity of historical land records."

Beyond the legal turmoil, the case brings back attention to Chandrachur Singh's distinguished background. An alumnus of The Doon School and St. Stephen’s College, Singh initially aimed for the UPSC civil services before finding fame in Bollywood with the 1996 hit Maachis, for which he won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut.

Despite a successful start with films like Josh and Kya Kehna, a severe shoulder injury stalled his cinematic momentum. However, he successfully pivoted to the digital space, making a powerful comeback in the 2020 crime drama series Aarya alongside Sushmita Sen.
