CHENNAI: The revenue officials on Thursday seized a government property worth Rs 200 crore encroached near Pallavaram.

The 1.5-acre land was situated near the Pallavaram Friday market road and it was given on lease to MM Gupta many years ago. Gupta, who was running a company in the land, was renting the space for movie shooting.

Following a favourable court order on Thursday, the Chengalpattu district revenue officials along with the local police sealed the house and company on the land. The officials also disconnected the power supply to the buildings and placed a hoarding that the land belong to the Tamil Nadu government.
