The lid has been lifted on a brazen land grab in Pune’s Mundhwa area, where EOW’s 1,886-page chargesheet unmasks the illegal peddling of 40 acres of government territory. Sheetal Tejwani stands accused of rubber-stamping a sale deed to Amadia Enterprises LLP, fully cognizant of its public ownership.
Notably absent from direct charges is Parth Pawar, the late deputy CM Ajit Pawar’s son and an LLP partner—preliminary findings detected no overt role on his part. In contrast, partner Digvijay Patil and ousted tehsildar Suryakant Yewale face the heat for orchestrating the masquerade of state land as private bounty.
Police narratives in the document outline a sophisticated scheme of document tampering and official collusion to execute the fraudulent sale. Sources within EOW confirm ongoing excavations into financial trails, partnerships, and administrative oversights, hinting at possible additional indictments.
Stirring Maharashtra’s political cauldron, the case has fueled opposition onslaughts against the ruling dispensation. Ajit Pawar maintains he was in the dark, vowing intervention had details reached him. Fadnavis’s push for an apex probe aims to restore faith amid whispers of deeper entanglements.
Beyond the courtroom drama, this exposé underscores perilous loopholes in property verification processes, urging legislative and technological fortifications to shield public assets from predatory grabs.
