MUMBAI: Following the exposés of the Pune land scam, the Maharashtra state police registered an FIR against those involved, but notably excluded Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s son, Parth Pawar, who is 99 percent owner of the Pune land.

Parth Pawar and his relative, Digvijaysinh Patil, had purchased the 40 acres of land for Rs 300 crore, against a market valuation of Rs 1,800 crore. The land, known as Mahar Vatan, was originally meant for Dalit landless farmers.

On the directions of the state revenue department, the police filed the FIR against the individuals implicated in the Pune land deal. However, Parth Pawar was not included. Interestingly, Digvijaysinh Patil, who holds only one percent ownership in the company Amadea that purchased the land, was named in the FIR.
