Pune EOW has formally charged players in a sprawling 40-acre government land swindle at Mundhwa, tabling an exhaustive 1,886-page chargesheet that chronicles the illicit handover. At its core, power holder Sheetal Tejwani is pinpointed for inking the deal with Amadia Enterprises LLP, ignoring the land’s governmental provenance.
Parth Pawar, identified as a company partner and son to Ajit Pawar, evades FIR inclusion as early sleuthing yields no concrete evidence against him. The net tightens around Digvijay Amarsingh Patil and defrocked tehsildar Suryakant Yewale, blamed for rebranding public land via bogus paperwork.
Detailed allegations portray a meticulous fraud apparatus leveraging forged authorities and insider nods. With investigations pressing on, EOW pledges rigorous audits of all involved papers and principals, bracing for supplemental chargesheets.
The political reverberations are profound, galvanizing opposition critiques while Ajit Pawar disclaims awareness, asserting a hands-on block if informed. CM Fadnavis’s high command inquiry directive signals commitment to transparency in this volatile arena.
This landmark filing not only spotlights individual malfeasance but catalyzes discourse on fortifying land governance against systemic corruption, vital for investor confidence and public trust.
