Bombay HC questions Police on Parth Pawar not being named as accused in Pune land deal case; seeks reply
The police investigation found the company had two directors, but only one of them was named as an accused; the Court submission stated that the son of the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra wields influence
The Bombay High Court questioned the Maharashtra Police regarding the absence of charges against Parth Pawar, son of Sunetra Pawar, Rajya Sabha MP and Deputy Chief Minister, in a Pune land deal case. Justice Madhav Jamdar ordered the Director General of Police to submit an affidavit on September 7. Pune Tehsildar Suryakant Yewale, facing charges of misuse of office, requested bail and submitted that he had no involvement in the case.
The Court adjourned the matter for a hearing on September 28 and noted that Ameida Enterprises LLP purchased 40 acres of land in Pune's Mundhwa area for less than its value. The police found the company had two directors, Parth Pawar and Digvijay Patil, but only charged Patil. The Court recorded the submission that Parth Pawar, being the Deputy Chief Minister's son, holds considerable influence.
