Police Question Pune Land Scam Accused Shital Tejwani For Over 5 Hours

Pune police on Thursday questioned Shital Tejwani in relation to the alleged illegal sale of government land to the firm of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s son, Parth Pawar. This is the second

round of questioning this week. Economic Offences Wing (EOW) officials grilled Tejwani for over five hours in connection with the Mundhwa land deal.

She was earlier questioned by the police on Tuesday.

As per a report by ANI, along with

Tejwani, Parth Pawar’s business associate Digvijay Patil and suspended tehsildar Suryakant Yeole, who allegedly abused his authority by issuing eviction notices to the Botanical Survey of India (BSI), are also accused in this case.

However, Parth Pawar himself has not been named as an accused since his name did not appear on the sale deed, according to earlier police statements.

Pune Land Scam

Tejwani allegedly facilitated the sale of the 40-acre land parcel to Parth Pawar and Digvijay Patil’s firm Amadea Enterprises LLP, acting as a power of attorney for 272 former owners of the land. This land is government-owned and leased to the BSI.

A committee headed by Joint Inspector General Registration (IGR) Rajendra Muthe submitted an inquiry report to the government, indicting sub-registrar R B Taru, Patil and Tejwani for the illegal transaction.

Apart from the sale being unlawful due to the land being government property, it was revealed that Amadea Enterprises was exempted from paying stamp duty amounting to Rs 21 crore.

Tejwani and Patil allegedly entered into an agreement and executed the sale deed despite knowing that it is a government property.
