Mundhwa land deal: Police seize original sale deed, PoA; start process to freeze Tejwani’s accounts

After Tejwani’s arrest on December 3, Pune police told the court they are probing whether Tejwani accepted Rs 300 crore of the deal and in what way. Police also told the court that the original 272 watandars — holders of Mahar watan land — had not received any money from the transaction of the controversial deal. Police said in spite of the land being in the possession of the government, Tejwani tried to show that it was still a Mahar watan and had then executed the sale of the land. Police also said the sale deed mentions the ready reckoner value of the land is Rs 300 crore. However, it is likely the market value of the land is four to five times more.

Pune police have also said that on December 1 they questioned Digvijay Patil, partner of Parth in Amadea Enterprises LLP. An officer who is part of the probe told The Indian Express on Monday Patil will be questioned again soon as part of the probe into the case.
