Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered a high-level inquiry into allegations of irregularities surrounding a Pune land deal involving Amadea Enterprises LLP, a company linked to Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s son, Parth Pawar.
The controversy concerns the sale of 40 acres of government-owned Mahar Vatan land in Pune’s Koregaon Park area, valued at approximately Rs 1,800 crore. Allegations have surfaced that the land was sold to Parth Pawar’s company for just Rs 300 crore, including a waiver of stamp duty worth Rs 21 crore, raising serious questions about the legality of the transaction.
Chief Minister Fadnavis, speaking to reporters in Nagpur, stated, “I have sought all 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.”
Additional Chief Secretary (Revenue) Vikas Kharge has been appointed to head the inquiry committee. The Maharashtra Revenue Department has also suspended Pune Tehsildar Suryakant Yewale in connection with the case.
According to sources, the land in question is hereditary Mahar Vatan land, which traditionally cannot be sold without prior approval from the state government. The sub-registrar involved in the transaction has been suspended as government land typically cannot be registered to a private entity without clearance from relevant authorities.
Opposition parties have reacted strongly to the issue. Senior Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar demanded a judicial inquiry, calling for a transparent investigation, while Shiv Sena leader Ambadas Danve questioned how a company with a capital of just Rs 1 lakh could purchase such high-value land within 27 days of proposing an IT park project.
Parth Pawar has denied any wrongdoing, stating, “I have not committed any scam. I have done nothing wrong.”
The investigation continues as public and political pressure mounts for accountability and transparency in the deal.
