Exactly! Abhya buying the land was a major plot point - twice! First, Abhya had to cancel the purchase so that Bāpū could pay Lati's dowry, and second, Abhya bought the land instead of paying back Bāpū. Abhya's mortgage was mentioned regularly over two years Bhūmipūjana happened - also twice! No way does anyone other than Lati own that land!
Devavrat's background: he does whatever Vidya tells him to do; his father died before he was born; his mother calls him Deva; he remembers being questioned about his father at school; he knows that he has a civil engineering degree. Of course, the writers will forget all of this as soon as they decide to surprise us with the birthmark on his back to prove that he's Abhya.
Abhya was 28 when the show began, two years before his death. If he survived, a five-year leap puts his age at 35. A man of that age refusing to be called Kākā by a five-year-old looks ridiculous. So, Deva can't be Abhya, unless he's proud of his plastic surgery making him look younger than he is.
