The Pune Police have registered an FIR in connection with a land deal allegedly linked to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s son, Parth Pawar. The case has been filed against three individuals. Parth Pawar is accused of using his company, Amadea Enterprises, to purchase government land worth Rs 1,800 crore for only Rs 300 crore along with a waiver of stamp duty in Koregaon Park area of Pune

It is learnt that Amadea Enterprises has two partners, including Parth. What has shocked many even more is that the stamp duty paid on the deal was reportedly only Rs 500.

The three accused named in the FIR are Sheetal Tejwani (a Pune resident who had power of attorney on behalf of the original land owners), Digvijay Patil ( a partner in Parth’s firm) and Ravindra Taru (the now-suspended sub-registrar who registered the deal.)

It is alleged that the 40 acres of prime land that Parth’s firm purchased falls under a specific classification and reservation, and according to regulations, property of this category cannot be sold without prior approval from the state government.

Meanwhile, Ajit Pawar on Thursday distanced himself from the ongoing row over the land deal, saying he has no involvement in the matter. Pawar said that if anyone has misused his name in the case, strict action should be taken against them.

“I do not have complete information about whatever the media is showing on TV channels. I have no direct or indirect connection with that matter. The people of Maharashtra have known me for 35 years. I have decided to get complete information about this matter. I had heard about something like this going on two-four months ago. I had given instructions not to do any wrong things. But what happened in the meantime? I do not know," the Deputy Chief Minister while addressing the reporters.

Further, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis formed an inquiry committee to probe the allegations of graft and irregularities in the land deal.

“I have sought all the information regarding the issue. Revenue department, IGR, land records have been asked to be submitted. I have also directed that an appropriate inquiry be held. Serious issues are coming forward at the primary level. Therefore, I will speak only after taking necessary information," said Fadnavis, while speaking to the reporters at Nagpur, when asked about the alleged scam.

“I believe that even the deputy chief minister would not support such a deal. Because we have unanimity in the government, wherever irregularity has taken place, action should be taken. We will verify whether there is an irregularity or not and will accordingly take action," he added.
