Show the title document (produced by vendor) to a local prudent lawyer before finalisation of transaction.

With the copy of the Sale Deed available with the Seller, he may approach the Registrar concerned through a local Lawyer and get a certified copy of the original document and that may serve your purpose.

when original sale deed is lost, give paper publication in the local paper for objections, when vendor is providing police report. It is my advise there is no risk when encumbrance reflects no alienation by your vendor even for mortgage. But my suggestion also you should consider. If he take a personal loan from private parties by fledging the original documents from the borrower, in this situation you have to face the risk. it is my opinion.
